Thinking of going SQLIte over Access for a small office Excel app

Client wants to go with Access to aggregate Excel data, but I start wondering - how do I gauge whether Access is to fat and SQLi开发者_运维百科te is just right?

SQLite is essentially one product. Access is at least four.

1. Multi-user SQL(ish) dbms
2. RAD environment for user-interface development
3. Reporting engine
4. Programming environment

Law offices are not paperless offices. Reporting is going to be a big deal. And Access has one of the best report generators I've ever worked with, and I've been around a long time. (Too long, some say.)
