Oh, it's been a while since I've dealt with the home-made "database" that 
was Access with a database file sitting on a shared fdrive folder. Oh, the 
nightmares that caused.

"It's a database, I don't see why we can let the entire finance department 
use it concurrently..."

Access and other desktop DBs always seemed indicative of a database 
department in IT out of touch with their users. Don't provide solutions 
for end users and they'll create their own - and you'll still have to 
support it at the end of the day.  :(
