Depends on the size of the tool for us.

For example (outside of Access):

Recursive directory searching - Rolled ourselves.
JPEG Image Compression - Intel IPP Library
TCP/IP Library - Made myself because I got a little too ambitious.
Looking back might have bought.
Digital Camera API Library - Bought from Camera Manufacturer.

I generally look at it as if it is going to cost at least half of what
it costs to buy it for me to just program it, then might as well buy
it, as when debugging comes around, it'll probably end up being the
same, and their library will be more stable.
