I am both persons you describe, originally from the Access/VBA/MS-SQL realm of db development. I am a recent(only using mySQL for about 7 months) convert to mySQL, and my biggest advantage as a mySQL user is simultaneous connections. Once Access hits about 5 simultaneous users the entire db begins to crumble. Whereas I am sure there is a limit to the number of simulantanious users in mySQL, I have never hit it. A good tool for converts from Access to mySQL is call myACCESS, and it's available here: http://www.accessmysql.com Although there are shortcomings to the program its a great lead in to mySQL from Access

Suppose I am a Microsoft Access user and you are a MySQL advocate.

What reasons would you put forth to convince me to migrate my tables from Access to MySQL? (Either for partial migration where I still use Access as a front end to the MySQL server, or full migration such that I switch not only to the MySQL server but to MySQL clients as well.) Thanks.

Sorry for the crosspost, I'm trying to hit the Windows users on the MySQL lists.
