Thanks guys.

I need to rewrite it sooner rather than later to maintain my sanity,
because it is expected to last for another 20 years. The front end has
40000 lines of code and and the back end stores 100000 records with a
regular need to import and manipulate external Access databases of up
to 500Mb in size. What runs where is mandated by men in black.

Access it has to be then. Best have a look at Office 2007 I suppose.

Thanks again.

That sounds like the right way to go. Sounds like fun, actually.

(Ignore that Aaron guy; he's got a bug up his a** about .Net).

Good luck!
