OK, I was taking into account this statement as being more solid than it
obviously was. If that's the case then I wouldn't recommend a web page.

ADSL (probably TS), but for now it's a single user no lan."

For the keyboard shortcuts you are right.

I don't see the problem, it just depends how you write the web page.

 For the reports I use activereports which gives me *far* more control than
access and I can show the same report in a web or windows app.

That's a programming feature.

Another programming feature but asp.net does have this.

Maybe you did it subconciously then? It's common for programmers to word the
requirements for the project to fit their favourite tool, which I find is
especially common for access programmers.

Write the damn thing in dot net and be done with it. :-) It might be slower
than access but you'll get a better end product and you can develop tools
for your next project. :-)
