Why move to access when:

No users understand it, steep learning curve imho
All users work in Excel
Requires Office Pro, not Std.

Have to disagree with your first comment. I taught an introductory
computer class at our local community college for many years. Students
learned Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. Sure, Access is a bit
harder to learn than Excel, but certainly manageable, IMO.

I claim that when you reach a certain point in complexity and size in
Excel it's time to move on to a database program. FileMaker Pro is
easier to learn to use than Access.

IMO MS didn't need to increase the number of rows in Excel beyond 64k.
