I am looking for the definitive answer as to what a web based development
will give me.

I have an application written in Access with VBA FroneEnd and Access
BackEnd. It is very stable and works quite well. I have had up to 20
concurrent users working for the last 6 years without any problems.

Web based development seems to be a buzz word. What will a web based
development give me that I don't already have? What will I have to compromise
on by going to web or conversely what am I missing out with my Access
application?

Does anyone know of a definitive article from MS or anywhere else?

many thanks

Hi,
Web based application can give you one advantage - remote users can connect
and run application without any additional installation. so if all your
users are local - then you can stay with access. Actually you can also allow
remote users to use your appliation via terminal services or remote desktop
 
While building ASP pages that connect to a back-end DB is a *great*
exercise, you will find that it can be *quite* intensive. The reason is
that you have to first learn HTML along with CSS and then VBScript and
everything is pretty much done my hand. By that I mean that while there
are editors such as HOMESITE that will help to build pages, alot of it
has to be done manually.
 
Well, asp is bit old technology, now you can use asp.net, which closer to
access developer skills.
