I have to admit, I really find it difficult to believe that it actually uses MS Access to store data.

I think it's safer to say that the author is just using Access as a graphical display for the tables involved.

Although sometimes it's hard to believe otherwise, nobody's that stupid.

Well, I stand correct. They really are that stupid, they are using MS Access to store totals.

My God. Don't they know that *anybody*, and I mean *ANYBODY*, can get past MS Access's password protection?

It's like using a deadbolt on your front door made of plasticine. Hell, it's like having a front door made from plasticine.

Looks to me like it is harvesting the Access data from some other database and using Access to generate reports.

Still a very bad idea.

I like Access for small, non-critical projects with three or four simultaneous users, but that's it. It is not secure, and it is definitely not stable enough for this sort of application.
