A Microsoft Access 97 database (written in 1997) is still the "system of record" for all instrument wiring diagrams within the biotech plant. I was recently asked to review it (19 years after I wrote it) and to develop a step-by-step for how to add reports to it. To put this in perspective, this biotech is the largest in the SF Bay Area, and the plant represents roughly 1/2 of the world manufacturing capacity of this type. And its single source of truth for how things are put together is a Microsoft Access 97 database.
