Hi Steve. Couldn't you use Flash to make a locally executable app which would also have web connectivity if it were available? I'm not very well versed in Flash so forgive me if I'm leading you in the wrong direction but my thinking is that you could use Flash to create a client-side desktop app (running in the Flash/Shock Player?) and perhaps use action script to test for web accessibility and if it's available use it, otherwise use a local odbc dsn or even perhaps access a flat file? Flash would also give you the multi-platform-abillity wouldn't it? Hope this helps and that I'm not leading you in a totally way-off direction.
