Question : Is the Access database can handle 60+ user?

I am thinking of creating Access 2003 database, which should be able to handle

Up to 64 User concurrent  70% read access and 30% write access
Up to 4Mil records divide in 2 databases (assuming 0.5K record)

Only 10 user will be on LAN connection to the database server and rest of the users will be on WAN.

Please advice
-      Choice of Access is right
-      Access 2003/2007 will be able handle 64 users
-      As Access database size is limit to 2GB, split the database in 2 file will do the job
-      Access the MS Assess from WAN, is it adviable

Please suggest any other database for front and back end in not Access

Thanks

My vote would be to steer away from TS and use Access front end using pass through to SQL Server backend which would probably be the quickest, easiest, most cost effective, and most maintainable solution. Here's why:

I know nothing about the state of your user communities workstations, but Access front end would probably run better than .net on non cutting edge hardware. If your WAN is good it would be hard to beat for speed or at least that's my experience. I think but i'm not an expert in that area that hardware and licensing  to support 64 users on TS would be more expensive and harder to maintain than SQL Server (Express). If Express wasn't strong enough and you had to go full SQL Server then licensing would be offset but hardware costs would still most likely be higher for TS.
