I am considering changing my extensive VBA code database to ASP. Is this an
impossible task and should I just rewrite the whole thing? Is ASP the up and
coming language for database code? Is Microsoft going to be changing from
VBA to something else as its main code? I think I am out of my league on
this one and would appreciate some help.

No, I don't think ASP is "the up and coming language for database code".
ASP.Net has surplanted it already, and who knows how long it'll be before
Microsoft tells us ASP.Net wasn't the correct answer either?

Afraid I don't have any answer as to whether Microsoft is going to be
changing from VBA to something else (which would most likely be .Net if they
were). Even if they were to change in the next version of Office (Office
14), I'd hope they'd have backwards compatibility for at least that version.
