Access was a front end to DB that was spun off as a standalone product.
It is a POS IMHO also.
I have a legacy Access DB that was foisted off on one of my clients by a former VP of said client. It’s horrendously bad and crashes all the time. It is not at all friendly for remote links.
I’m trying to drum up support for converting this to an SQL project, but I suspect that approval will only come when the Access db tanks hard for the final time.
