Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion
My client has a complete application using an Access Database: tables, queries, forms, reports, etc. Is there any "quick"way to convert the Access application to an on line Cold Fusion application with the same forms, reports, queries, etc? I am not looking forward to re-writing all of the user interface information (forms and reports) into CF. Thanks.

When I dug in to this issue 18 months ago, it seemed like there was a way to convert access forms to ASP? Maybe you could use that tool and at least get the forms generated for you, and it might be easier to read through the ASP code and convert it to CF than to do it from scratch. Sorry I have no idea what tool can do this, Access itself may be able to do some exporting. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion
I'll second that, and would love to know the answer or maybe a utility or something like that.

RE: Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion
I don't think you'll find an easy way. >From bitter experience, let me recommend that you not lightly accept "make a web application that works just like this" as the requirements. Even though it will be frustrating for the user, you need to get them to specify what each screen and report is supposed to do. Otherwise you will be hearing 'in this special case the Access application always did this, your version doesn't and therefore is broken' from the client indefinitely. -Original Message- From: Pete Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 11:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion My client has a complete application using an Access Database: tables, queries, forms, reports, etc. Is there any "quick"way to convert the Access application to an on line Cold Fusion application with the same forms, reports, queries, etc?

Re: Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion
Hi there, I am in the process of converting an Access application to SQL Server and Cold Fusion. I haven't found an easy way to convert. The only possible way I could think of is by porting the application into Access 2000 an exporting forms, etc. into HTML formats.

Re: Convert Access Application to Cold Fusion
Are you planning on keeping Access as the data repository? Back in 97 [Access 2.0/Access 95], I was involved in web-enabling an Access application and it was not an easy task. The forms included multiple controls including Access's sub-form control. The point is that these controls are going to be tough to 'convert' into CF ... without major work. Not to mention the conversion of 50 to 60 complex reports. Access does have an export to HTML and ASP, but this only works well for fairly simple applications. I did however put together a system in which web-based Access report request where handed off to Access which generated the report to a file and then the file was sent back to the browser which contained the Access Report Viewer Active-X object for viewing.
