I've used Access since version 2 and now use 2003 and PHP/Mysql.  That is an
accurate assessment of the problem.  As an interim step you can continue to
use the Access front end for forms and reporting and use ODBC to Mysql on
the back end.

Subject: Access VBA Migration

Hello all,
 
 I am wondering, can anyone comment on the following statement regarding
migration of Access applications out of Access?
 
"The biggest problem with migrating from Access to some other database isn't
the database data itself (the tables, data, and separate queries), it's the
fact that people have used it to create applications; Access includes a
built-in VBA runtime that people use to create forms and create reports.
Many of the queries and updates are "bound" to controls on the forms. It's
those forms, bound queries, and reports that get lost when you migrate an
Access application out of Access--and I don't think MySQL has done or can do
anything to solve that problem. "
 
Any and all information will be appreciated,
 
Greg Magnusson
