Agree. I doubted this list as soon as I saw “Microsoft Access”. :)

Access gets a bad rap. 15 years ago, I was hired by a start-up to develop their system specifically in MS Access. It has grown over the years into a mid-level enterprise system. Order processing, inventory, job cost, purchasing, expense claims, DOT emissions compliance, Hazmat safety, production scheduling, ad-hoc inquiry screens, automated email delivery of reports too numerous to count. Just about everything except time clock and payroll.

The caveat here is that the back-end is SQL Server; only the UI and reports are in Access.
