Hi Arvin,

Access 2010 + SharePoint web applications are designed to be browser
independent.

Hi Jeff,

But to run in the browser, the forms will need to be rebuilt from
scratch using web-safe layout view and without VBA. This may be a
significant effort depending on the complexity of the app, although
probably easier than rewriting the whole thing in PHP or ASP.NET.

Also, for true subscriptions with control over multiple user logins,
accounts, passwords, etc. Access 2010 might not be robust enough yet.
I'm interested to see what's possible in that area.

Terri, there are several possible approaches to migrating your Access
application to a web-based subscription service, but none of them are
easy or cheap.

Correct. Earlier versions of Access and SharePoint had some browser issues.
Those have been corrected with the coming version.
