I'm currently using Access 2007 and I have been using it for development for the past 4 months. It works great, and I like how it's easy for me to add functionality. With the Report function, it's even easier for me to generate what I need with just a bit of design and effort.
If you already have MS Access in your PC, why not spend a bit of time and learning it? With the combination of forms and queries, pretty much everything can be done without much VB knowledge.
