[AccessD] Contract work

[Jim Dettman]

Susan,

 If they already have it written, then their only choice is the last two I
gave (TS Server or www.eqldata.com).

 Outside of that, it would be a total re-write and a significant loss in
functionality if they went to an Access Web App. Web Apps in A2013 and up
should be thought of as an "add-on" to an app for colleting data, and not
for doing the app itself.  In addition to no VBA, there's also no reporting.

 If they want a true web app, then they should be looking to use something
like PHP or ASP.net

Jim.

Well, they've already written the Access database.

Susan,
  1) if they need it to be web, I recommend using a real web technology...
not access.
  2) easy to implement is bootstram + angularjs with a database back end, if
you're this deep, maybe use mysql instead of access ;)
