Yo, and for good reason. VB is not trivial. Naken has an ASP2PHP conversion 
tool (http://asp2php.naken.cc/), you might poke around on his site looking 
for others. It shouldn't be too hard to alter several of the MDB exploders to 
also spit out the VB code, but basically it's no turnkey job to convert it 
and get it running. One of the major reasons for leaving Access is to also 
leave VB and the (lack of) associated structure.
