I’m currently redesigning a site for a college, huge project. The homepage is going to have a lot of custom stuff on it that causes it to not render well in contribute. I was thinking of making a custom cms for it running off possibly access. My question is how secure is an access database on a server? I’ve worked with it a fair amount, but not on projects that required the database to be secure. I can use SQL server if I need to, so I’m trying to choose between the 2.

Thanks
