There is no "auto" convert way but I do outline in the following article how
you can use an existing access application over the internet.

if you run internet services + terminal server, then your access application
can even run inside of a browser.

Hi Albert

Hmm, I am amazed with Microsoft Sharepoint Technology b'cos they promised
to give access over Internet to MS Office Family Product.

As Share point Portal server does that !

So it must support Access Application as well

Well, access 2007 does have some really nice features to export, and link
tables to SharePoint. So, no, I don't really think they are leaving
ms-access behind, and access 2007 does work WAY WAY better then a2003 with
SharePoint.

"Support" does not necessarily mean "run the application without change".
And, "must support" is perhaps a bit too strong a statement, depending on
what your view of "support" might be.

As Albert has described, integration and usability of Access 2007 with
SharePoint is much improved over earlier versions.

The best programming information on that interoperability is in "Access 2007
VBA Programming," by Teresa Hennig et al, published by Wrox/Wiley.
