Oops missed the alternative idea.

The project that will replace the current Access front end based system is being written in C#.

My only problems at present are some incompatibility issues with OR mapping classes and UI controls. What I find irritating is while a Dataset will perform flawlessly with the UI controls (those that data bound) but when I bind some entity collections to the UI controls either directly or via a binding source I have issues in some instances. At least with Access (and I strongly dislike Access) this situation does not arise. Where I have such a problem, I have to convert the entity collection to a Dataset and when I have finished, reverse this. So far the issues are related only with tables that have a self join. Fortunately I only have two tables of this type in the database.

Regards Peter.

Alternative idea : Throw away the Access front end and do it all C#,
call it the next version of the software.
