I have a MS access front end DB with a sql backend. it is a comprehensive reporting tool for our organization, and contains over 100 queries, two dozen reports, a half dozen forms, and a little touch of VB. I wish to allow this tool to be accessed through the web, I read that CodeCharge will convert the DB for me.
Is this correct? Should I explore another option (another program, or do I have to rebuild the database) or will CodeCharge accomplish this?

Yes, CodeCharge Studio can convert the DB for you. Though it will not convert the application (forms and reports) - you can create those using the design mode and wizards like you did in MS Access.

okay, so i would have to rebuild the forms and reports, does it give me all the same options, for example: right now it is as simple as the user typing in a date range and hitting a button to generate a report, the button has the vb that opens the report (as i'm sure you know) do these wizards work the same?
also where is the tool in codecharge to convert it over so i can see it myself?

Yes, the wizards, reports, forms work similarly to those in MS Access.
All wizards are available in the Toolbox. The Application Builder does most of the conversion and you can see it and use it when creating a new project.
I also would recommend starting with the tutorials in the help file, especially this one:

I have experience with Access, and I'm a new convert to the CodeCharge world. While I can't guarantee that everything you did in Access will come over to CCS with ease, I would venture a guess that it will.
You'll need to invest some time in CCS, but the investment will be worth it.
I'm always looking for development tools, and for someone moving from an Access like tool to some web app development tool, I don't know of anything better than CCS. Go for it.
You'll need to pick a language to work with. While we're strictly a C# shop, for you, your best bet may be VB.Net.
