It sounds like you are describing everything that Microsloth wanted Access to be. Access is buggy, slow, and starts to lose its mind when databases get over a certain size. It also falls over frequently if you have any latency on your network. (Heck, it's downright dangerous in some situations because inexperienced users can modify data structures through ODBC by accident. That's another story...)
Since Access sucks, perhaps this will be the inroad these guys need. Bundle it with an office suite and some slick, easy development tools and I think we have a winner.
