Hi Elric,

My personal opinion is to use MSDE. Several points, which give advantage to
MSDE:

1. It provides same level of security as SQL Server.
2. It is stable. Access database could be easily corrupted and requires
repairs once in a while
3. It has rich functionality, supported by SQL Server - triggers, SPs,
extended syntax for Transact SQL
4. If your database will require more space, then you could migrate to SQL
Server without writing any additional line of code. Just attach database to
SQL Server and it is done
