I've done the opposite, replaced all the filemaker db's here with Access backend and Vb front.
demotivater,
Do you know if filemaker databases suffer from data corruption issues. That's my main reason for wanting to switch.
I don't think they had a lot of trouble with that. But - they may just not have noticed the issues. During the conversions, I noticed quite a bit of crappy data, but I couldn't determine if it was user error or corruption. I found it pretty difficult to work with. All the data is basically one big table, it was pretty hard to sort it all out and try to "normalize" it.
