Converting MS Access to VB

I need to convert an Access 2002 application to VB. Does any know of a
good converter that would save me time? Not necesseraly that it would
be a perfect converter, but one that would save me hours of coding.

Thanks.

I don't know of any commercial programs for performing such a
conversion. VB.Net will convert older versions of a VB.Net program to
the later version. To convert an Access mdb app to VB.Net you will have
to get someone who programs VB.Net. The conversion is not too difficult
since most of Access coding (VBA coding) is basically workaround coding
to make something happen and usually takes twice or more line of code to
write in VBA than to code the same operation in VB.Net.

Since VB.Net encapsulates most (if not all) api functions (used by VBA)
into the VB.Net language and also is OOP based, you can perform the same
operation(s) in VB.Net in half (if not less) lines of code than using
VBA. So getting a VB.Net programmer (who isn't just starting
out)shouldn't be a major burden on your budget.
