Access - dotnet comparison

Hi all,

I have an old app (its a relativ small app) in acc-dao-msde (odbc) which i
would like to reprogram for distributing 10-100 times.
Now i should decide the platform i will use for the development:
Access2000/XP - ADO - MSDE or dotNETvb

If i use Access i will need about 100 hours.
dotNet i have to learn first.

- What are the adavantages/disadvantages using dotNET?
- to create reports i have to buy cristal report or something similar?
- in dotNet there are no subforms and no endlessforms?
- The development costs (time, tools) for dotNET are quit higher than in
access?
- developing / distributing an app: which platform produce more headache
thanks in advance for your ideas

Peter
