Very Unhappy Front End Developer Looking For Advices

I've almost completed a small project with MS SQL 2000 server in the BE and
Access 2003 in the FE. 5 concurrent users, 30 tables, 35 forms and subforms,
13 reports.
Not so happy in the beginning as soon as Access Event Model was shown
(Crappy at minimum, even compared with not-anymore-existant tools), very
unhappy when the project is almost completed.

Main concerns:
- User interface VERY slow (UI redraw on not so complex forms, don't talk
about conditional formatting, unstable and...bah!!!!)
- Too many bugs IMHO for a 4th generation product
- Lack of basic features (record hilight, formatting......)
- Crashes
- Slow even when running queries on server side (Stored procedures).
- Advanced techniques requires you being an acrobat.

That is ,I'm seriuosly thinking of REWRITING the whole project, using the
existing DB structure, looking for a seriuos development tool and
environment. I remember of Borland Paradox 7 for Windows. Ten years ago it
had a far superior event model, no bugs, speed and many limits yes, but
we're talking about a ten years old product. If only Borland continued
improving and enahnce that product.....

Anyhow back to present..... any advice?
