You're simply WRONG.

Wrong.

You obviously don't know how to design a properly functioning multi -user Access database.

I have a client with a 375MB Access database (3 tables have over 300K records in them) with 5-10 simultaneous read/write users. Performance is just fine, there is no corruption and there are no concurrency problems.
