bilfurd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
For those that have never dealt with Access, one of the features that lets you develop apps so quickly is the ability to insert VBA function calls into a query definition. Unfortunately, the number one feature that prevents you from upsizing to a "real" database server is the ability to insert VBA function calls into a query definition. The Access app in question has some 450+ (not a typo, and no I did not build it) queries that are used to generate reports. Eight of them upsized without modification.
That said, I have been slogging away at a script to make the changes (thanx again, zaxo & others, for the s/// help!). If somebody has already pulled this off and is willing to share their code, I would be very grateful. If not, I will keep at it and post the end result.
Thanx in advance!
