I had to do something similar. What I ended up with is: 1 Webserver using intraweb hosted somewhere (I know not where)
2 Middle tier app using RemObjects to talk to webserver, hosted on our servers 3 Database (sql server) on our servers. The web server talks to the middle tier across the internet and to the database locally. There is only a single port open on the firewall letting the webserver traffic through to the middle tier. It all works quite nicely. The downside is that you need a windows web server somewhere. If you don't have one of your own, you can get a virtual machine at a hosting company (that's what I did). You can probably do a middle tier using the built in Delphi components rather than purchasing Remobjects.

This is particularly true as y'all are what I'd like to be - professional programmers. Well, anyway I've got a database order entry application that I'd like for our customers to access so that they can enter their quotes/orders themselves. Currently the application is written in Delphi 5 and uses dBase. There are 5 users on our internal network. Customers are in several states and there could be perhaps 5 or so accessing the application at the same time. I have purchased an update to BDS 2006. So if you were me where would you go from here; namely, what do you recommend.
