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.

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