I think what MS did with User Level Security in A2007 makes sense (I'm not saying I like it). What it does is continue to allow the use of Access for individual productivity, but prevented it from being used for shared secured databases except by people who had at least enough skill to make Access work with SQL Server. The business problem with Access has been that too many people got into trouble as they grew their database, and then IT departments began to hate it because they had to take over a very flawed, department critical, database with no budget and no time.

Drew, The idea is that Access will NOT be used to handle security, it will be used to create a UI against a SQL Express backend, which will handle the security instead. Microsoft decided to turn it into a cut rate powerbuilder, I think.
