Question about back end database

Hi,

I'm writing a program which utilises a database, now i've always used Access
for this but as the product will be commercially available can I use Access?

Hope i'm in the right place!

Dave,

It's not that access won't work. You can use ADO.NET to talk to Access, and
yes you can write a datalayer to abstract the database differences even.

Just know that Access/Jet will not work for a multi user heavy load kind of
scenario. MSDE is a good replacement for access in that situation.
