I have suggested that he keep it web-based but he insists that it
be available on unconnected desktops. He's even thinking about
selling it to customers.
The application is a catalogue of items. Selecting an item
will display information regarding that item. It does get fairly
involved but that is the essence of project.
-- This should be a stand alone app, ie: neither IIS nor apache
should have to be installed on the computer; and for security reasons
the db should not be in an easily accessable file where employees
could just download it.
-- The app will need to tie into a database. Access would do, about
20-30 tables, under 500,000 records. Users will not update the
database.
-- It would be loaded into a variety of stand-alone desktops.
-- It would have to be secure. Employees, and customers, should not be
able to readily download the data.
Does anybody have any idea. I'm wondering if VB is the way to go.
It may be beyond me but I would like to give it a shot.
thanks for any input,
