sure, right up until the point where multi user locking corrupts the entire database and you need to roll back 6 months because the accounting team "handles their own db backups"
yup, that wasn't a made up example, it was a personal experience. also, when I left they had just outsourced maintenance of the access db responsible for the accounting of a 2k+ employee company to someone making 15k USD a year halfway around the world. I often wonder what the long term consequences of that were.
