Access vs SQL Server

Asked by jtwestmo in Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: access, sql, vs, server

I know database format could be debated forever so that is not the point of this question. I am writing a program for a small company, about 15 employees. This program will handle Job tracking for each of their projects. It is basically an accounting program with a lot of extras. They will use it to take in employee time and then be able to print invoices and reports about projects and shipping information, customer reports and things like that. It is just a way for them to combine their accounting system with time sheets and all that. My question is can I use an Access database to handle this or do I need to use SQL server or what. I plan to write the program using Visual Basic .Net and the database will sit on a Windows 2000 server with XP clients. I am very familiar with writing to Access databases but have little experience with SQL server. The company has about 2000-3000 jobs a year and most jobs have a complete cycle time of about a month. I just dont know what the workable limit of an Access database is. I would prefer to use the Access database to keep from buying SQL server and because I am most familiar with it. I am trying to keep cost as low as possible for them. Any input would be appreciated.
