This is the thing about Access. For simple to moderate stuff you can't really bear it for easy of building and deployment due to the forms and reports being integrated with the tables and queries. I'm always surprised by how powerful it is and what you can accomplish with it. Nothing beats it for local, department type I formation management, libre/open office don't come close. With that easy of use comes its reputation of being a nightmare to manage, mostly because it's easy enough for people with no knowledge of the relational model to use. If there was a similar solution utilising sqlite as the backend I'd definitely be using it.
