[AccessD] Old Dog - New Tricks

Dear List:
 
I am trying to decide what to do when I grow up.  Access is great but I
think the market for indies like myself is declining and I'm thinking that I
need to learn some new tricks.  The question is just what to learn.
 
I like developing small business applications - that's my strength.  So that
would be my target market.  But what platform?
 
I suppose whatever it is had better be web friendly.  Everyone seems to want
their databases and applications to reside on the web.  Or, if local, run
them in a browser.
 
So what should I learn?  VB.Net?  ASP?
I already have Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition which I got at a
Microsoft Launch and includes SQL Server 2005.
I also have VB 2008 Express Edition and Visual Web Developer.
I also have Front Page but that's been obsolete by Expressions which I can
get from the Web.
 
But I don't know how these different components relate.  Is ASP part of
Visual Studio?  Is ASP to .NET as DAO is to Access?  Can you deploy a .Net
app to the web or do you use something like Expressions to do it?  What
should I learn?  
 
Maybe I can combine what I need to learn with a Microsoft tutorial that will
get me back into the Partner Program.
 
I'm a bit at sea here as you can tell.  But assuming that I don't lay down
and let the feeling pass, I think it's time to start taking a serious look
at what I'm going to do for the next ten years. Probably a couple years past
due, actually.
 
Any advice/experience is of course, welcome.  
 
Regards,
 
Rocky
