Azure SQL Database

Hi, i currently have a Microsoft Access application that uses data, queries, forms, report and custom vb coding. I'm looking for a modern cloud solution that i can use to recreate my application and then be able to offer to my clients via web link.

 

Is Azure SQL database a reasonable tool for this high level requirement?

    You can move your Microsoft Access backend (tables and data) to Azure SQL Database and rebuild the front end as a web application. For the frontend, you can use tools like Power Apps (for low-code) or develop a custom app using ASP.NET, Blazor, or React.

    Azure SQL will store your data securely in the cloud, and your app can connect to it over the internet. This way, your clients can use the app from a browser without needing Access installed. It’s a good long-term solution if you want to modernize and scale.
