Converting Access 2000 Project to VB.NET

[vpoko]

Hello,

I'm looking to port an MS Access 2000 Project (a project is the front-end only, without DAO, which interfaces with SQL Server 2000) to a VB.NET application. Are there any tools out there that automate the process for you? I've seen a few conversion tools for converting individual Access forms to .NET forms, and even one or two that will work with entire Access files (.mdb) but I haven't seen any that work with project (ADP) files. Any help would be much appreciated!

Get VB.NET 2005 Express (it's free) .... and re-build the application... trust me. Any thing that Access 2000 used to do would have been using VB6 era VBA code.... which isn't going to run "just like that".... even the best of converters can't get it right (despite their clames) as most only translate a few things, then wrap non .NET calls with .NET wrappers (but still using classic code) and call it good.
