Moving from Access to a web system is not just table conversion. Identify who uses each form, which reports are sent, which files are imported, and where decision rules live in VBA or a human procedure. A specification that starts with new web screens misses work happening before and after them.
Extract a data dictionary, table list, relationships, users, permissions, reports, and schedules. Define stable identifiers and decide the source of truth during transition. Build the minimum that can enter, find, and validate data, then add reports and convenience.
Run a bounded comparison period: new actions follow one clear rule, and key outcomes are compared. Do not leave two systems open without ownership, because their gap quickly becomes the project’s most expensive problem.
