Daniel,

What the hell does the size of a company have to do with the capabilities of a database? According to your cockamamie definition, if a company with more than 50,000 employees is using Access, then Access is an enterprise level database.

Enterprise level databases are defined by their capabilities ... not by the number of employees in a company.
