I don't have a solution for the implementation problem you 
raised, but I may have a solution for the motivational deal.
What prompted you to switch to Access? Whatever it was, it ought 
to have been a good reason, one that is beneficial to your users.
How quickly can you bring your users to the point where they can 
REAP the benefits of that unique feature of Access?
I'm in the situation of switching client from WordPerfect5.1 to 
Word6.0. Demonstrating automatic-numbering of paragraphs after 
introduction of fresh text did the trick! No matter that the 
feauture was probably available within WP51 - they weren't aware 
of it until I showed it to them in Word6.
I suspect that if you can find a real benefit in Access and get 
your people to it, your problem will soon be solved.
Of course, if you can't find a real benefit in Access, that 
prompts the question "Why Switch?"
