[AccessD] Better Access GUI

[jack drawbridge]

David,
As others are saying, there does not appear to be any software to convert
Access forms to a more modern look. There was a presentation on *Interface
Design* to the Pacific Access Users Group a few months back that was
recorded and is now available  on youtube. Here is the link https:  //
www.youtube.com/  watch?v=zc2ZBFim9i0. The presenter is Greg Regan of
Vivann Consulting.

Not a conversion tool, but ideas that may offer some insight.
(You'll have to remove the spaces in the url!!)
