[AccessD] What's New in Access 2013?

Mark,

 If you look at 2010 and the macro editor, it looks like it is based on an
XML file, but nothing's been documented, so that's pure conjecture on my
part. 

 Frankly, if a converter was possible, I would have thought that would have
shown up in 2010, but I guess they were too focused on just getting the web
part right without having enough time to worry about getting existing apps
ported (2007 was a pre-beta attempt at the web as far as I'm concerned).

  But I'm not even sure existing apps getting ported is a priority or even
feasible.  As we've discussed here, the web works differently then a
standard desktop app.  Even within A2010, there are fundamental differences
between a web and standard DB, so would a converter even be worth it since
most of the code may no longer apply?  Most likely not.

  Think anyone what wants to take an existing app to the web with Access is
going to be in for a re-write and with significant loss in functionality.

Jim.

Is a conversion tool a feasible solution ?
If the new scripting language is all GUI-driven, then this would not be
possible.....
Unless the internals of the new scripting language is made available.
Doubtful.
