[AccessD] End of an era

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Paul

Visual Studio, C#, and good old Winfoms.
I created a larger application using the DatatableAdapters and SQL Server as the backend 12 years ago. It has run without a single glitch until now where the owner retired and closed business.

But it will not be a migration but a full rewrite.

Is there a preferred migration path for a multi-user system having a 100MB Access FE application and a SQL Server BE?  I've been pondering that one for about a decade already (the app is ~22 years old with about 15 users).
