I'd 'second' that; Access really doesn't behave all that well,
especially if more than one person is trying to use it at once.

Moving to use a different DB backend, but still 'Access' as the front
end is quite trivial (from what I remember) and will save you a lot of
grief. You can probably use MySQL for the 'backend', saving license
fees.
