Would I still be able to run stored procedures? Data is imported in bulk from caseware excel outputs, I use stored procedures in order to model the data as required etc. Minimizes what I have to do in the app and alot faster when using access I'd imagine.If your app needs to be portable then look at sqlite as your database. It's a PITA to install sql express on client machines just to get your app to run. if you control the setup, then that's fine I guess, but it takes away from the "very" part of your "portable" requirementsqlite is way better than ms access and works almost exactly like sql server/ms tech that you are used to.
All this "effort" to do some olap from caseware time data.
