I'm working on a Visual Basic .NET using Access database. However, my
client already have a 30MB database with Sybase ASA and Sybase is way
too much for that. Is there anyway I can migrate from a Sybase to
Access? or is it possible at all. If it is not, can these two databases
co-exist together?

Are you ending your career with that client, advising Access, while there
are 2 free SQL servers which do a better job?

Just my thought reading your message,

Cor

Not sure of the question.

1.)    Access would really bite with a 30MB database--not recommended.
2.)    Access could use link tables to link to Sybase perhaps and give you
"access" to it.  then again, why would you use Access if that were possible
instead of just getting the drivers to connect directly to Sybase.
3.)    If it is a problem you might consider migrating to MySQL.

Why would Access bite with a 30MB database -- that's nothing.
I've had apps with an Access database that was 500MB, and the
performance was fine.

It would be better to migrate to SQLServer Express, but using
Access won't kill him.
