Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Convert MS Access application to Web-browser based application

AWA indeed had several limitations but was awesome in its design. It was actually a low code compiler to T-SQL. Version 3 or higher could have been perfect. We still use AWA all the time and use it from PowerAutomate/Flow SQL Exec Queries.

No necessarily. Access web apps still had several limitations with respect ms access. Open source will end up winning the battle on this one as you can produce similar ms access functionality with xampp, php and birt reports. It is not difficult, it will just take  time to learn the technologies.

Combining multiple makes to achieve what Access Web Apps did without any conversion is plain cumbersome just because Microsoft were shortsighted enough to ditch AWA in favour of PowerApps that don't use VBA but rather low-code language.

Guys,

You need a combination of a back end, preferably posture and a front end, Php generator. There are tools out here that convert ms access to any mainstream DB. It is not difficult.

MySQL isn't a Web-browser based application any more than Access is.

I would love to know that myself. I did run across a document from Oracle on how to convert an MS Access database to MYSql, but it seemed a bit complex at the time.
