I have a large task to undertake, or atleast I think I do. I have an access bar coding program that I wrote a number of years ago in Access 97 which consists of a front end (forms, reports, modules, etc) and a backend which consists of all data. The company would like the program transitioned into SQL 2000 of which I don't know much about. In the access program I did a lot of SQL statement writing. Couple of questions; can the entire program be trasitioned to SQL without the use of a front end such as Access, how good is this? Is it best to keep Access as the front end and access data from SQL? Should I convert from Access 97 to 2000 first then to SQL 2000? I am worried about speed issues as I don't know much about SQL. The current database has about 10-15 users, it isn't my idea to convert them but they are a large company and are requiring this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks....
