How easy is it nowadays to migrate an Access application to Linux?
I'm getting rather fed-up with trying to maintain an Access 97 application on Windows 2000 and migrating to Linux might be the answer.
Do you mean an equivalent application? I've moved a work MS Access database to linux by putting the back end in postgresql and rewriting the front end in html/php and serving it over our intranet, it's taken me a long time to do it though. Worth the effort and I only have one front end to maintain. Is this what you mean?
In the end, yes, maybe. It's actually quite a simple application and an HTML/PHP front end would be a brilliant idea. However a 'quick and dirty' bodge for the moment would be useful too!
I wonder what you can do with Mono (http://go-mono.org)? Mono will probably understand your Basic code and you could easily extract your SQL from Access and insert it into MySQL......
