Anyone that isn't trembling in trepidation at the sight of their own shadow knows that I lambasted your management ... not MS Access and not you. If that scares them then perhaps they should retreat to 3x5 cards.

You comments about the "cost" of going to Oracle are based on what? I could move data from an Access database to Oracle at the rate of one database every day or two without a single dollar going to Oracle corporation for more software. Perhaps you should talk to your SysAdmins and DBAs about the concept of licensing by CPU.
