Has anyone tried using Irie Software to
convert Access to a VBA project?
"VBA project"?
Irie appears to be for starting the conversion from an Access application to
a Visual Basic 6 application.
I haven't used it, but comments from people who have used similar converters
indicated they still had a lot of work to do after "converting". Given the
many differences in the object model and event structure between Access and
VB6, I find that easy to believe.
And, converting an Access database application to a VB6 application that
accesses a Jet database is often a misguided approach to solving some
problem. A presentation that I did for my user group, on this subject, can
be found at
http://appdevissues.tripod.com/downloads.htm. There are _rare_
occasions when such a conversion is useful, but "rare" is the operative
adjective.
