[dba-VB] Loss leader (or just plain loss)

A friend has approached me about building an application for a small chain of stores to manage 
inventory.  "Very simple".  I haven't yet talked to her about the requirements.  She did say they 
were quoted (and rejected) a bid of $4000 to do the job.

If I am going to do this at all it will have to be very quick and dirty, and would be just to help a 
friend.

Is Access 2007 runtime stable?  Easy or difficult to use / install / implement on site?
