Well, to be fair to Access, it's not like Excel is such a great multi-user database either, now is it? ;-)
Well excel nowadays doesn't have issues with concurrent users if you have office 365 like many companies do.
At that time it was Access with the files located at a company shared drive, the issue was concurrent writes I believe.
Better yet, put your access backend to OneDrive to acquire an un-openable, un-deletable file.
I actually ran this setup for a pretty long while without major issues. YMMV but OneDrive is not a terrible way to store a single user database backend if you don't have a lot of sequential writes going into it in a short timespan.
