Something strange I'm trying to accomplish...

I have something weird I'm trying to accomplish and was wondering if anyone has tried/accomplished this.

Here's the problem (briefly).

I have some power users of a system that I built that use MS Access as a frontend to SQL Server.  They have direct table access.  I want to wean them off of this, and would preferably like to give them some stored procs... unfortunately they have some mini apps in MS Access against the data.  Beyond me teaching them how to call SQL server via the Jet engine (creating a connection to SQL through a connection/recordset object) is there any way I can hook a .Net assembly into Access that would let me display some dummy tables (or dummy queries) that when called will invoke methods in my .Net assembly (BTW, this is MS Access 2003).

I've been looking through the mess that is MS Access and can't seem to make heads or tails of how I can do this (or even if it is possible).

I'm going to Q&A this one...

So you'll essentially want  to invoke a .NET assembly  from VBA  - that shouldn't be too tricky...

That pretty much sums it up.

<br>Hey gang could you post over here - <a target="_new" href="dotnetjunkies.com/.../a>.

<br>I figure that I came up with the .Net Q&amp;A blog; the least I can do is post my questions over there.  More on this in my next post.
