    there is 1 case where I would take Access over Sql Server
    What case is that?

    SQL Server is far superior to Access
    As JB pointed out, that's what I said I would add, though, that we're often a bit too dissmissive of access round here, it does have a place. Look around your average business and you'll find dozens of non-programmer types banging out their own little utilities in Access and, generally , making a pretty good fist of it. Tell these guys they need to do it through Management Studio and they'd be utterly lost. What they want is a sort of super-excel and, in that role, Access is a damn good package. I think that's where Dillitante was coming from when he recommended it over SQL Server Express and, given the pretty simple nature of what the OP is trying to achieve, he might have been right.
