Have you considered using the free MS SQL 2005 Express? MS Access flat file format has its limitations.

Re: MS Access DNN4

Is it possible to install DotNetNuke 4.0 using MS Access instead of MS SQL Server?, and how?

Re: MS Access DNN4

Currently, you cannot use Access unless you can either find or create a provider for Access. The problem with this is that the authentication system DNN uses was built for SQL Server and will probably be very hard to port to Access. The amount it would probably cost to come up with an Access solution most likely wouldn't be worth it considering SQL Server 2005 Express is available.
