Maspic (Ms Access to ASP Compiler) is a programming tool developed by us to convert 2-tiers MsAccess packages to ASP based 3-tiers web applications.

Currently we are using this tool to develop our own web applications. We don't sell the tool by itself, rather we use it to develop customer tailored web apps. 

The input of Maspic are a collection of MsAccess form based on several backend databases. You may use different databases, the only constraint being the OleDB/ADO compliance. The output are several ASP pages ready to run. The asp code contains the full implementation to manage I/O from/to the database: Ms Access forms, controls have been mapped to correspondent HTML FORM components; MsAccess look and feel have been translated into HTML forms. Together with the code for managing data binding also several handlers have been written by Maspic: each handler is a function similar, but no identical, to MsAccess 'event' function. You may override these handlers in order to insert your own business logic in the package. Once you have changed an handler you may lock it in order to warn the compiler to leave it unchanged at next compilation. Maspic implements form handlers, data field handlers and 'OnClick' button handlers.

Maspic is not a simple one shot-one way converter from Access to ASP: you may use Maspic for the whole life of your project. If you have to change something on your forms edit Access forms and recompile them to get updated ASP pages. 

We use MASPIC to fast create 3-tiers packages using Ms Access as developing tool: we don't think MASPIC is to be used to convert an existent Ms Access legacy package.  

Last, but not least, MASPIC generates pure ASP code: no special objects are required: either server side or client side.
