Beyond a certain (quite low) point, Access is much harder to use anyway in my experience. I've been maintaining db's for a while now and of the wide range of queries I am faced with,the "Hey can you support this Access application that someone wrote three years ago and then left" scenario is the one which causes a not inconsiderable amount of pain.

Very simplistic web backend. You're much more likely to go the Apache / PHP route if you want to learn anything, but with a normally configured copy of XP Pro+Office it's something like four lines of code to get a simplistic query showing on a web page. If you're unwilling/unable to install new software/services then it does the trick.
