Microsoft Access is a great way of rapidly building Applications for small businesses, or as proof of concept.

Conversion Tools
The process of converting an Access Database system to VB.NET, or any other language can be very complex and daunting.

Evolution, our MS Access to VB.NET conversion tool is an incredibly powerful tool for converting the visual design of MS Access Forms to VB.NET designer code files, and converting the code behind the Forms to VB.NET.
