convert access 2007 to... VB.net or C# etc etc

hi all,

just a quick question... if i wanted to convert an access 2007 db along with all the forms and functions etc to something like VB.net or C#... is this possible and of so are there any third party tools out there that would help?

thanks

Imo The first step would be to move the backend to SQL. Then you could write a new front end in c#.

Yeah there's no converting per se. You'd have to re-write all the forms, reports, etc. in the new architecture of your choice.

hmm, the back end is the easy bit to be honest. i dont fancy attempting to rebuild all the front end stuff.

when i said back end i mean the DB.

i wasn kinda hoping someone had invested a magic tool to doo the rest! :-)

There is a magic tool to move from mdb to adp (access front SQL back). Its the wizard in access.

hmm might be a good starting point. I imagine you'll still need to do some customization to get the coverted objects optimized for a web interface.

Let us know how it goes!

also i didnt want to offend anyone by not awarding points for helpfulness but the last time i did that i got jumped on by everyone telling me that, that's not the way the forum works and i should only award points once the question has actually been answered.
