Implementation Suggestion Needed

[Guest]

Hello,

I am getting ready for an involvement in a project that
will convert an Excel based application to a Microsoft
Access database based application. I have two
implementation ideas in my mind.

1) Windows Forms based .NET application that talks to an
Access database (C# & OleDB Data provider)
2) Access application using VBA, forms, and reports.

This application will typically have somewhat of complex
queries and business logic that will require data from
various tables and generate reports at certain
frequencies and times.

I do not know the deployment platform yet but at least
Windows 98 would be a safe assumption.

QUESTION:
Unfortunately, I do not know much about the second option
(Access App) to compare my 2 options (pros and cons).
If anybody can give me some ideas, I would really
appreciate it.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great day.

Matt

I would have gone to Access but if you are not comfortable with the tool you
are likely to miss out.

As a rule of thumb - go with what you know.

..NET is not a good solution for 98.
My suggestion is to use .NET only if your target platform is 2000 or higher.
