Converting VBA project to .net

[Sam Johnson]

H

I've got the following problem: I developed a VBA based access database with rather a lot of code in it. Now, I want to 'convert' this database into a .net based application. What's the best approach for this? Are there any tools (like the Visual Studio) that make this somhow easier

Thanks for any hel
Sam

you can use the RegAsm.exe tool coming with the VisualStudio.Net package.
This tool is useful to use old assemblies in your new code. Example using Vb
or VBA code in VB.NET project

Sam,

I am not aware of any tools that are available to "convert" an Access
application to .Net.

I am not really sure if you have a problem?

While you cannot develop web services in ms-access, ms-access certainly can
consume any web services you create.

So, really, if you need some of the new features of .net, then noting is
stopping you from writing some web services, and using them with ms-access.

Take a look at the following link...it is rather impressive, and shows how
office/ms-access can consume web services.

So, why re-write?
