[AccessD] Access and SQL Server

If John makes his new applications work stability, I will truly be
delighted. 

If they do not, I promise to try to resist the temtation to say "I told you
so". ;-)

A few small tables and limited number of users it's fine.  

Try over 50 concurrent operators  inserting/updating  records in  tables
with up to 7 million 
rows with multiple large lookup tables on that data.  At the same time have
a number of  
others users pulling summaries of that data.   Not fine.  :-)
