The no. of users is between 5 and 15. They are currently using Windows
XP Pro.

I understand that Express is an option but I want to know the cost of
full MS SQL as well.

  ...what specific Server OS are they currently using and how many
concurrent 
  users?

  ...SQL Server Express is quite capable of serving as a be to an Access
fe in 
  many environments but you have to understand its limits ...but its
free if 
  those limitations don't limit your application.

  ...SQL Server 2005 comes packaged or stand alone ...if you purchase
Small 
  Business Server 2003 Premium, its included at a very steep discount to
the 
  stand alone price.

  ...the costs mount in either route as you add user licenses.

  ...server processor and memory specs are much more important in a 
  client/server app w/SQL Server be than it is with an Access
file/server be.

  ...Windows 2000 or XP will work fine but support for earlier versions
is 
  difficult at best ...the benefits of XP are, imnsho, more than
sufficient to 
  drive an upgrade ...unless they want to wait for Vista which will
almost 
  certainly require workstation hardware upgrades as well.

  ...hth
