Transparent Pricing

No hourly guesswork. A clear three-step process with defined costs at each stage — so you know exactly what you're getting before we start.

Step 1

Database Analysis

Every project begins here. We assess your .ACCDB thoroughly before any conversion work begins — so there are no surprises later.

What we check

  • Count and classify all forms, subforms, tables, queries, and reports
  • Verify primary keys and relationships on all tables
  • Identify invalid data values and referential integrity issues
  • Review queries and Access domain functions (DLookup, DCount, etc.)
  • Review VBA code volume and complexity
  • Flag any structures that need adjustment before conversion

You receive a written assessment with a full itemized quote before any further work is authorized.

Typical cost
$300–$800
Step 2

Form Conversion

Forms are classified into three tiers based on complexity. Most databases are a mix of all three.

Why this is a fraction of the alternative: A complex form like an order management screen with tabs, subforms, and action buttons takes a developer 20–28 hours to build manually — at $75–$150/hr, that's $1,500–$4,200 per form. The Access Conversion Engine produces the same output in seconds.
Simple Form
$150
per form
Single table, basic CRUD, no subforms or tabs. Typical data entry screens.
  • Single data source
  • Standard field types
  • Basic navigation controls
  • Item / Edit / Insert templates
Most common
Standard Form
$350
per form
Multi-table joins, dropdown lookups, header/detail layout, basic action buttons.
  • Multiple data sources
  • Lookup dropdowns with SQL binding
  • Combo boxes and list controls
  • Basic action buttons
Complex Form
$650
per form
Tab containers, embedded subforms, multiple action buttons, multi-template FormViews.
  • Tab container with multiple panels
  • Embedded subforms via iframe
  • Multiple action buttons
  • AjaxControlToolkit integration
Project minimum: $500. Covers intake, environment setup, database analysis summary, and delivery of a structured Visual Studio solution — regardless of form count.

Volume discounts

Form count Discount Notes
1–9 forms — Standard tier pricing
10–24 forms 15% off Applied to total form conversion cost
25+ forms 25% off Applied to total form conversion cost

Reports conversion (optional)

Simple Report

$150

Single table or view, basic layout, no subreports.

Standard Report

$200

Grouped data, calculated totals, multi-section layout.

Complex Report

$300

Subreports, conditional formatting, complex grouping logic.

Reports are adapted for browser-based RDLC format. Layout and data sources are preserved in most cases.

Step 3

Business Logic & Adjustments

Some databases require additional work that cannot be automated. This is always quoted separately — you approve before we proceed.

VBA rewriteEvent handlers and business logic refactored into VB.NET or C#.
Data integrityMissing primary keys, invalid lookup values, orphaned records corrected.
Complex queriesAccess queries that require manual reconstruction as SQL Server views.
Unsupported functionsAccess-specific functions (DLookup, etc.) replaced with server-side equivalents.
Table restructuringSchemas adjusted to be compatible with WebForms data source requirements.
Data cleanupInvalid or inconsistent data corrected prior to SQL Server migration.

VBA rewriting is billed at a fixed per-module rate quoted after code review. Data cleanup and structural work is quoted per issue identified during analysis.

How much does a full rewrite cost?

A typical 50-form Access application rebuilt from scratch by a development team runs $150,000–$300,000 and takes 12–18 months. Conversion typically completes in weeks at a fraction of that cost.
