Access is also a full "cms" for constructing program interfaces, ui.
I have seen fully fledged programs written in it, and it wasn't pretty.
Dynamics sounds like it is "excel/sql with data analysis strapped on", where access was "excel/sql with frontpage strapped on"
The scale is different. Dynamics is mainly an ERP like Sage or SAP. It's something you could coordinate the movement of millions of goods through, and tens of thousands of people.
Access is a database with a GUI that you can slap more GUIs onto at your own peril. Dynamics is an iteration of " Microsoft Great plains" that was turned into an unholy monstrosity to compete with Oracle/IBM, etc
You will spend millions of dollars deploying it. It will both be bewildering too much and not enough.
