I have a client who has a VB 6.0 application with MS Access as backend. But, now the Access is unable to take the load. So, we are now considering to shift to SqlExpress Edition. Also, we will convert VB6.0 application to c# based Winforms. My questions –

1) Can SqlserverExpress support 10 users concurrently? If not SqlExpress, then what other options are available?

2) Should I first convert VB 6.0 to C# application? Because, if I transfer data to Sqlserver, will VB 6.0 application continue to work?

thanks

    1. Yes it can

    2. You don’t need to convert your app, but Access and Sql Express – are different database engines, so you will need to adopt your app to sql express

    3. Note, that sql express prior to 2008 R2 can handle up to 4 Gb databases, while 2008 R2 can handle up to 10 Gb per database.
