Norman,

My original question was a little short so let me refrase. My Access XP
(2002) system includes a large amount of VBA code. Is it possible to convert
the system from a .MDE to a .EXE VB application using VSNET?

Thanks Norman,

I do have the .MDB, but distribute it as a .MDE. I guess I'll leave it for
another time then...

If the Access application is in *.MDE, there is nothing you can do: the VBA
code is not available at all.

There are some conversion software claiming to be able to convert Access app
to VB exe, or even .NET (VB.NET or C#) exe. I do not believe them, unless
your Access app is extremely simple. Access app and .NET app are just too
different to be converted. You can search the net and buy one or more
so-claimed softwre and try (I wouldn't waste time and money on this,
though). At best, you still need some manual fix. Using VSNET? the
converting condition is "Good .NET skill" + " Manual re-write". No other
way.
