First ask yourself whether it "should" be a Web-application or a Desktop-application. Then consider the GUI that you have most experience with.

First of all, don't do this! Second, much easier and better is to write your application from begining to the end. Use SQL Server instead of MS Access database. You'll find many examples on CP knowledge base (Articles).
