I apologize for the brief description. I also apologize if this question has been posted before. If it was, didn't find it.
Everything points to the fact that PHP/ASP Runner is a great tool, so that's not an issue with me. My concern is that I have a humble database app running in MS Access that, although it's not the best since Coca-Cola came around, people are changing to Pepsi. So I want to move it to the Web. So here are my questions ...
Sould I go the PHPRunner way or the ASPRunner way? I am basically a Windows XP user, sorry.

Can I use, edit or update fields like MS Access' memo fields?

What about macros? Can I use my MS Access macros with the Runners? If not, are there equivalent options?
Any guidance will be appreciated. I don't mind the learning curve. I just don't want to go to the process to find out in the end that I better stick with MS Access. Thanks in advance!

You definitely need to proceed with ASPRunnerPro.
You will be able to modify Memo fields just fine.
Macros won't be converted automatically. You need to do this manually. This should be possible as VBA syntax is fairly close to ASP (VBScript)
