As per the DB, a cloud-based solution would help to remote the database, avoiding a local server, while for the front end, either a local ACCDB or web based solution (probably more costly) would be fine for us

This is a great and simple idea, which will cut development costs. Efforts will be required to convert the OCX grids (Gridex 2000) to some sort of native ACCDB supported grids, updating the VBA code accordingly. More info for everyone: Current System Details:Database: Hosted on SQL Server 2008...
