Converting an Access database to VB.NET keeping the same SQL Server

Crazy?
Well, if you're doing it for fun rather than profit, yes!
Windows Forms or Office Forms?
What do you mean "Office Forms"? .NET is either Windows or Web (at
least in the flavours I work in, which are .NET 2002 and 2003). If
you're converting an Access front end to a Windows front end, then you
need to have a keen eye on the business benefit, because it's a total
rewrite (though you can use the existing forms as design templates, and
the existing code as pseudo-code).
If you're converting to a Web app., then you've got a lot of work to do
(ASP.NET is a cool tool but it's NOT a RAD tool). However, both
flavours work very well with SQL Server, and there's a lot of help out
there in cyberland.
