I am trying to create a document to justify purchasing Visual Studio and SQL Server. I need some reasons why Visual Studio is preferred over MS Access.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ seems Visual studio can be used in conjunction w/MS Access, even comes with a blank database according to the site.

    Visual Studio with SQL Server is a development environment for enterprise-class applications. MS Access is a versatile database with capability of creating a custom-user interface - but is geared toward smaller work-group sized applications. In a multi-user environment, MS Access performance takes a dramatic hit as more users attempt to use a shared application file. The specs for MS Access claim it will support ~250 concurrent users - but in real practice, more than 10 is a stretch. An application with more that 10 users should be developed using an enterprise-class environment such as Visual Studio and SQL Server.
