I have been delving heavily into VB.NET myself as a way to get away from Access, b/c of its 'issues' - like the ones you mention.
I just hope they get their reporting up to a better level, or upgrade access, to address some of these needs! I know they have to be pretty common issues given the typical business uses of data.

Hmm, maybe create a new Connection Object only when you go to retrive Data for your Recordsets. If Connection Pooling is on, this shouldn't be a huge resource hog.
As far as Reports go, maybe you could still Report from Access, but have the Users work in a seperate App =P. Or check out Crystal Reports or Active Reports or IntelliVIEW. Not sure if there are any more good ones out there.

Heh, if you peeps need any insight in VB.NET, let me know. I have been developing with it now for over a year and know it pretty much inside and out. All I have to say is...read the Help files and check out http://www.codeproject.com! Good luck!

I'll take you up on that b/c I'm just starting, and have been doing T-sql for so long that all my VB skills (much less web programming) are completely rusty. Right now I can't even get my web server to talk to my database

Yes, that's a little more tricky but not too much. A great book is "ASP.NET Unleashed" by Stephen Walther (SAMS Press). Also, check out http://www.asp.net for more help and examples.
