    Is it easy to transform an application you developed in access using vb into a web based application

    It really depends on the application, but if all it requires is some data entry, calculation and display they you should be able to convert your VB (VB6 or VB.Net?) to ASP using VBScript and some HTML to perform the input/output. Obviously the more complex the application, the more work the coversion will be.

    It requires no data entry it imports tables using a form button and i am unsure what VB it is but it is the one when you click design view of a form and then you can code behind buttons and stuff

    But is there a wizard or something in access that will just transform it to the web

    IIRC, Access can export information to ASP but I'm not sure how flexible the convertor is or if it could handle the VB that is already written. Frankly I wouldn't trust Access to do anything.

    If I was doing this I'd probably just do up a few quick ASP pages using some ADODB objects to query the DB via ODBC and iterate through the result recordsets to build HTML output (probably a few simple tables).
