As always, it depends. Are you intending to put a lot of logic into the database (stored procedures)? Or are you intending to put as little logic into the database as possible, and just use it as a relatively dumb data store? I'm not suggesting either option is better than the other, but that decision might influence your choice of database. Or you could look at it the other way round - support for stored procs is better in some databases than in others so if you make the decision about the database first it may place limitations on how you design the application.

You could also use this as an opportunity to think about how you might build a system which is database agnostic, or at least ask yourself the question, how easy would it be to upgrade from MS Access to SQL Server six months from now if I find Access can't cut it?

It's not clear when you say this is a "personal" project whether that means it is just a learning exercise or whether you are considering possible commercial applications at some point (which is what I read into your statement about it being a "packaged" solution).
