It depends on the complexity of the Access setup. The Upsize Wizard does a pretty good job on tables/fields, but not always perfect.
If they have any code (macros, modules, field/form specific checks, calculations, etc.) it will be lost. On the other hand, a lot of that could probably be done in your web app instead of the database. So they could well be right in what they're saying. I'm not sure this is an accurate indication of skill level, though. It could take a lot of programming time because they *don't* have the needed skills in SQL. Or it could just be what they've been told by other programmers. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Stein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 10:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Witango-Talk: [Off] Access to SQL with ASP > > > I am looking for a confirmation of something to check on the > skill level of a company I may be working with. > > They have a content management tool built in Access.
