Access to run a Business App?? (Score 1)

How about using a real database to handle a business app instead of Access. Just because their is an ODBC driver for it doesn't mean its gonna be robust enough for e-commerce use. Upgrade to whatever DB Server product you want. Chances are its going to perform better than Access.

Also learn SQL you'll soon see that importing data from any ODBC compliant DB is either simple or logical or both. If you don't want to then install MSSQL on your NT boxes and run the Access Upgrade wizard to import the data into new tables.

Hire a NT Administrator. I work on both Linux and NT Servers and I can make a Linux Server as unstable as most NT Servers. Remember most people who call NT unstable do not know fully how to configure and maintain a NT Server. To make matters worse their are also many NT Administrators who don't know how to properly manage a NT Server. It sounds like your NT Administrators fall under the latter catagory.
