The move from Access (workgroup style DB) to a client-sever DB might
cause some problems as well.
Though I understand Access 2000 has more client-server features?

e.g. if you have a drop-down box or something VB may be getting the data
from Access as you scroll up or down i.e. constant dialogue between
database and application, whereas for a web page you want to get the
data (or a portion of it) just once. Though it depends how you coded it
I suppose.
