Depends on what kind of business, and for what purpose. Are you equally adept at both, or are you hiring someone that is?

I'm going to use it myself and I have never used either software. My business is sales online using visa and mastercard for transactions. I need to keep track of who bought, how much, and when on a weekly basis, also I'm keeping track of the normal things, like sales of particular item's, shipments w/tracking numbers, mailing list....

Access is better, user-friendly, more intuitive, and probably easier to learn and deploy. Good luck.

I personally can't compare Access to Quickbooks for accounting purposes.

If you have a small business, get QuickBooks Pro. This is probably the best software out there for such purposes. Don't waste your time trying to run a business with Microsoft Access.

I concurr. To get Access to offer the facilities QuickBooks does requires quite a bit of programming.

I could have sworn that I typed Quicken! Consider those adjectives to be descriptive of Quicken NOT Access. I must remember to put down the bong from now on!

access is more general purpose but with a little knowlegde of VB and a little twicking it could work for you. but quickbooks is deffinately the thing specifically built for the accounting office, and offers loads of officed based solutions.
