    Upgrading from Access to a desktop browser application

    I have inherited a legacy Access app. I want to modernize the app and turn it into a standalone, browser based desktop application that hits the local Access database in the background. No Web work at all for this one. I know my way around Access very well and I know enough Java, etc. to be dangerous.

    I would love a gui driven tool that will enable me to design windows, read/write to the database, write code in the background, etc., kinda like we do in Access, except it produces html/javascript code for browsers.



    Any suggestions? Has anyone done something like this before, and if so, what tools did you use? Thanks in advance!

    If you google javascript and MSAccess you'll get a few hits. I haven't done any of it, but you do see some articles from time to time --usually much like yours ----I would like or I wonder if anyone....

    Good luck. Let us know what you find.
