[Quoted] If more than one user EVER needs to access the data use Oracle. If you are writing a standalone progran that will never need to talk to another program or be used over the network, or have multiple users use Access.

Oracle is Fast.
Oracle is a real relational database
MS Access is an ISAM, which means it is basically a sequential file... MS Access will most certianly give you an HUGE upgrade head ache down the road.

Oracle is better for your career....
