And Access forms are *very* different animals from Windows forms. And Access
reports are *very* different from - Oh, no, that's right, .NET doesn't
*have* reports! :-(
OK, that's something of an exaggeration, there's Crystal Reports and other
third party tools like XtraReports
(
http://www.devexpress.com/products/NET/XtraReports/), and .NET does have
some printing support built-in, but that is accessible via code only, there
is no graphical designer.
All things considered, trying to reproduce the functionality of any
non-trivial Access application in .NET is, well, non-trivial!
