VB 6.0 to Access 2000 code conversion

[MiquelB]

I everybody,

i'm trying to convert my Visual Basic 6.0 code, forms,
etc. to an Access 2000 database. Is there a automatic
converter ? Anyone knows ?

Thanks !

Not really. Tony Toews lists some products that purport to be able to do
this at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/accesstovb.htm but the general
consensus is that they do an incomplete job at best.

There are simply too many differences in the controls available for VB forms
vs. those available for Access forms. In general, you're going to be better
off recreating the forms manually. (You can, of course, simply
copy-and-paste the code associated with the form, and, depending on what
it's doing, it should work with minimal conversion)
