Hi I'm Dave from NYCVP.com and we have an ACCESS 2003 application that need to be converted to Microsoft .NET DESKTOP application.
Can you give me details on the conversation process and estimated cost.

Question: We have an ACCESS 2003 application that we need to convert to a Microsoft .NET DESKTOP application. Do you have a tool that can help here?
Answer: Yes, our VB6/COM processor can be used to help rewrite MS Access Applications as .NET desktop applications.
Access Application use the VBA language which looks a lot like VB6 and follows many VB6 conventions; however Access also provides other services through the classes in its object model (Queries, Reports, Forms, etc.) which typically use data binding to your Access database tables. Also the VBA code runs within the Access application process and therefore it has access to the Access application objects and APIs more directly that than similar VB6 code would.
...
Our standard VB6 upgrade process is designed to work with standard VB6 projects (VBPs and the code/COM files they reference.) In order to use our tools, the Access application needs to be extracted from your Access DB and wrapped in a VBP project. Access has an export feature that can help, but the exported files are somewhat different from standard VB6 due to how Access binds your application objects to your database. We have also developed some custom tools to assist in this area, but they would have to be further customized to your specific needs.
The bottom line is the tool can be a great help with this, but it does not currently do it completely automatically, right out of the box.
If you can tell me us more about your requirements, that would be a help and . And if you have a VBA sample, I then we will be happy to demonstrate what we can do and go from there.
