MS Access can handle your listed data needs very well. The major caveat
here is that Access is a snail over WAN (essentially unusable over most
WANs), although you can use the synchronize function if a little
administrative overhead is acceptable. For a LAN, if you are not already
bogged down, Access may function fairly well. There are much faster
databases, and ones that operate over WAN quite well (i.e. Oracle).
