Access solution Costs

I found this cost table quite relevant for ROI.

(from http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/4/7/a47b7b0e-976d-4f49-b15d-f02ade638ebe/SQLAccessWhatsRight.doc#_Toc90802236)

The solutions and the costs vary significantly based on the platform
selected. The following table shows approximate numbers.
Platform Average Cost
Excel $500
Access individual $3,000
Access simple multiple user $10,000
Access workgroup or department $50,000
Visual Basic or Jet $200,000
Visual Basic, Visual Studio .NET, Java, or SQL Server $500,000
Oracle or IBM DB2 $2,000,000
SAP, Tandem, and others $10,000,000 or more

Although there are $1,000,000 Access applications and $20,000 .NET
applications, the numbers in the preceding table show order of
magnitude for a large organization, and what they generally spend for
solutions on those platforms.
