sql server and access

What are the significant differences between sql server and access as
both are database software ? I'm trying to figure out which one to use
in my office. Thanks

Here is a good link to help you decide. My experience shows that if
your data structure is fairly simple, and the number of users you will
have accessing are small..then Access may be more than adequate. SQL
Server is a much more sophisticated tool than Access, and is the way to
go for anything other than the smallest of businesses or personal use.
