Access is fine but it works better as a single user database than a multi
user system.
My personal opinion of Dbase is stay away. I've had bad luck with it.
Paradox is a pain with that locking file.
Interbase is one of my personal favorites.
MSSQL is another good one as well as IBM's DB2

I use Access 98, Interbase 6.0 and DB2 at work in a shared environment and
all have worked fine.
We use MSSQL for our web server but I don't work on that end of the system.
 BB4 for development.
