I am writing a distributed DB Application with an Access Front end. Essentially an mde with some forms and reports. Should I use an access mdb to hold the backend tables or use MySQL or some other database?
Personally I would use SQL Server Express or MySQL. They scale better than an Access backend and when you are ready to move away from Access, you can do it without having to convert the backend as well as the front end.
