| The company I was developing several MS Access db's for wants to take one and
convert it into an existing db they have in Powerbuilder - will it still have
the Acccess capabilities on the front-end ? Will it be a live hook-up ?

| There is no product that I know of that will convert an Access application
to a PowerBuilder application. If you are talking about converting data,
you'll need to tell us what RDBMS the PowerBuilder app is using.
If PowerBuilder is capable of linking to your Access tables, nothing will
change in your database. The only difference is that the PB app will be
able to update or report on your data as will your existing Access app.

| PowerBuilder is a front-end development tool. It can use an
Access database: it can also store some application information
in an Access database (as Access does).
Connecting a PowerBuilder application to an Access database
will not prevent you from using the database with other applications.
It will not prevent you from using the database with applications
built in Access.
Both PowerBuilder and Access can do a 'live hookup' to an
Access database.
