      If you use SQL Express you can scale up to a full server edition if you need to without much effort. If you use access then it would take more work to migrate.

        I'll probably never scale up to server edition, cant see the app developing that big.

          Also, you need to consider your ISP. Do they host SQL Server? Do they charge extra for this service.
