Greetings: I am the lone developer of db apps at a company of 350+ employees. Everything is done in MS Access 2010 and VBA. I'm frustrated with the limitations of this platform and have been considering switching to Python. I've been experimenting with the language for a year or so, and feel comfortable with the basics.
I am concerned that I'll have a hard time replacing the access form and report designers. I've worked a little with TKinter, but it's a far cry from the GUI designer in Access. Finding a professional grade report designer looks like an even bigger challenge. I don't need to port any applications, but I will need to use the data (mdb/accede format), design a variety of reports with multi-level groupings, and deliver them to many individual recipients via email. Has anyone here made this transition successfully? If so, could you pass along your suggestions about how to do this as quickly and painlessly as possible?
