Googling on MS Access and .Net yeilds for too many irrelevent hits, perhaps somehere can help.
Is it possible to call .NET web services from a MS Access VB code? Without writing a raft of bespoke code that is. Ideally I'd like to be able to get (and update) a dataset via web services hosted on a .NET based web server.
Thinking behind this is that the whole application, current MS Access forms and SQL server database, really needs re-writing to a browser based, .NET type system (keeping the SQL server database at the back end).
A total re-write would be a large investment, with a long wait (during development) before the customer sees any benefits. So a phase approach is preferable, hence it crossed my mind that the ability access some fo the new .NET web componements from Access VB code would be a neat trick.
Thoughts?
