Software such as Word or Excel work in bursts. You open a file, do
some work for several hours and then save the file. Access however
is much more continuous and is the proverbial "canary in a coal mine"
when it comes to flaky networks.
Wireless networks in general are not recommended for the exact
problems you are encountering. That said the interference might be
caused by nearby WAPs on the same channel or the signal strength being
marginal. Net Stumbler may be of some assistance here.
But in general our advice for wireless connections is to put a wire in
place.
