I don't get asked about working with Microsoft Access that often, except when it comes to interfacing an online store with a POS or Accounting system.

MYOB Retail Manager, which you will find in many bricks & mortar stores as their POS system (often with multiple registers), uses MS Access as its database.

Why they never switched to SQLite or MSSQL Lite I don't know but it's there, does the job most of the time (except when it corrupts itself) and there's no value in moving away from it, and going all-out online is a big scary change for them.
