.Net programmer needed North West UK

Hi, I am an IT manager from Blackburn.

We are currently looking at migrating our system to VB.Net and SQL server.

We need an advanced programmer with efficient programming skills to migrate us.

I also want someone who can train me at the same time so that any future modifications can be done by me.

It would be preferable if you have done a project like this before.

The basics are: -
Customers Management
Sale Order Input
Credits
Returns
Accounting Facility
Purchase Orders

Several reports done in crystal

We do have a system that we would like to work around at the moment that has many nice features but it is done in Access and can prove to be very slow on our size system.

This is not a guaranteed project as yet as i need approval from the board, this is merely to get an idea how much you would charge and how long it would take you.

I do know a little about .Net and have wrote many programs in Access(VBA) so am i not new to programming but .Net is a big step.

We are based near Preston so if you are nearby we will cover your travel expenses if the project goes ahead.

Get in touch ASAP if you are interested as this project will need to go ahead as soon as it is approved if it gets approved

What I want to know is : -
a) Are you interested
b) What is the cost of a project like this
c)What timescale would we be looking at
