I am thinking of charging $60 / hour for development Depends where you are. $60 is too low in my estimation, if you're in the US. >> Should I ask for 20% ahead of time, or just wait till completion for payment? Get minimum 50% up front before you move a mouse. This keeps people from pulling the plug without you getting paid for work already completed. >> Should I setup a visual structure first Yes, mapping the business process first is always a good idea - clarifies everyone's thinking and eliminates a bunch of rewrites. >> convert his access DB to SQL? Absolutely, get it out of Access and into a relational db.
