You are 100% correct about the learning curve. However, only a small
proportion of it will be actually learning C# - the main task will be to get your mindset into the .NET Framework way of doing things.
I'd disagree with this. I'd say learning to use C# properly is going to be a massive learning curve for someone used to using VBA. The easy part is using the framework libraries. As we all know, one thing about a well designed library is its ease of use, and I'd say the .NET Framework is pretty well designed (at least most of it).

I have been designated at work to convert MS Access databases (front
end only as back ends are on SQL Server) over to webapps using C#.
Thanks for your time and recommendations and suggestions.
The best advice I can give you is to forget completely any thoughts of "conversion". Access apps have so little in common with browser-based apps that any conversion attempt would just be a waste of time.
You are 100% correct about the learning curve. However, only a small proportion of it will be actually learning C# - the main task will be to get your mindset into the .NET Framework way of doing things.
I suggest you get a copy of this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-ASP-NET-3-5-2008-Professional/dp/1590598911/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246543023&sr=8-1
and work your way all the way through it from beginning to end.
Once you've done that, and not before, then start thinking about how to create new web-based apps in ASP.NET which meet your current business requirements. By all means refer to the existing Access apps as a cross-check, but nothing more.
And, when you need ASP.NET help in the future, the correct newsgroup is microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
