Access' upsize wizard should be helpful in migrating your data to SQL Server. So the difficult of the job will mostly be dependent on how complex your forms and reports are and how well you know whatever tools you're using to build the new SQL Server-based front end in. Myself, I'm a programmer who does tons of web stuff, almost always VB.NET/ASP.NET/SQL Server. It's not as quick & easy as Access (though VS.NET 2003 is in many ways a nicer IDE to code in than the modified VB6 IDE of Access), but it does scale a lot better.</blockquote>
