| First time poster looking for some help from the "experts". I've been tasked with converting all of our access databases to SQL to alleviate licensing costs. The converting of the database to SQL back-end isn't a problem. My problem is what do I put on the front-end for users to view the database and enter in data?? Has anyone completed this tasks? What steps are involved? Are there gotcha's to be on the lookout for??Any and all insight is greatly appreciated.Scott |

| Yes you can, but I'm trying to alleviate the licensing costs to have Access loaded on each workstation. Trying to find a cheaper alternative. |

How about developing it in .NET? You could also consider making it a browser-based app. There are lots of other options for developing applications of course but .NET does have the benefit of good integration with SQL Server. |

| First of all, thanks for the comments and suggestions. Unfortunately I'm not a .NET developer and don't have time to learn and support the product. Is there a boxed product available that you're aware of for integrating a web front-end?? |
