Creating prototypes for migrating MS Access applications to .NET

An n-tier architecture forms the basis for the migration. The architecture's business logic is addressed via web services. The primary presentation level is realized by a WinForms-based rich client and data is managed via an SQL 2005 database server. The application servers uses stored procedures to communicate with the database. The development is carried out in C# based on the .NET 2.0 framework. Reporting is planned with Microsoft SQL server 2005 reporting services. There is also the option of employing Access automation to continue to use the reports from the Access applications, which entails changes to each Access application.
