Are there significant advantages/drawbacks to using either VB.NET forms
(windows or web) or MSAccess ADP for frontend development, or is it
personal preference?

Thanks for the input

If you're looking to the future, then an investment in .NET is where
you want to be. Access is an old technology at this point. Your choice
really depends on the specifications for your application. Access is
fine for small applications with few users, but it doesn't scale. If
you're looking at an ADP, I'd suggest an mdb with linked tables
instead. That is what the Access team is recommending these days
because it's more flexible (local storage, etc).
