Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions re. creating a front-end for a small
Access database application running in a small business (maybe 4
tables 10,000 records each, 3 users, not a whole lot of transactions
(adding new clients etc))? I was planning on just using a VB app
residing on the client machines (database on the server) but have been
looking at Access DB connectivity through asp/IIS. The Asp solution
seems more lightweight (you know, the whole 'VB is bloated' thing),
and the system won't be exposed to the world (not worrying about IIS
security). i am mainly concerned with performance (read: speed; the
more 'server-side', the better) and stability (it seems to me that
starting from the ground up with VB would be prone to more bugs) but
'prettiness' is also an issue. Please, any advice would be awesome.

With thanks,
Mike

Is there any reason to not consider an Access frontend? 3 users is trivial;
even a poorly design Access interface/database can handle that without too
much trouble.

If not an Access frontend, I prefer VB ... ASP still doesn't give you that
feature rich interface, and there's always the printing problem ...
