I used to build Access applications and never had data corruption issues while supporting 20 concurrent users. The key is separating the database and front end in different files. While I have many gripes with Access, it is a highly underrated tool. Using a real database engine requires infrastructure and lots of red tape to set up and it might not even be approved after waiting for months. With Access, you just put a file in a shared directory and you are done. No need to set up a web server for a front end either.
