Difference Between access and SQL Server
Yes, by several hundred dollars
 Actually, you are talking apples and oranges. SQL Server is a database engine. Access is an application builder. You cannot build forms or reports in SQL Sever. It requires a package or language capable of creating applications (VB, C++, C#, VB.Net, etc.) Those mentioned do not easily produce reports. The most common reporting package that can use SQL Server is Crystal Reports. Access is a collection of tools that includes the Jet database engine. It also includes a form builder, a report builder, and a query builder. (I omitted Macros because they are seldom used by professionals). The application you build in Access, by default, uses the Jet database engine; however, you can use SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or other database engines instead.

Difference Between access and SQL Server
What Klaatu said.
 )We use Access as a front end to a SQL Server backend, mainly because A) Access is easy to work with and B) we typically have over 100M records in a table and Access tables tend to blow up at 1M records. If you're storing alot of data, I'd consider the setup we use. If you're not going to go over 500,000 records in a table, just use Access as both the front and back end.
