Since it's really just an IB C/S app, you won't need *special* components for the Internet side of things, per se. Start with the components you already use. However, if you find them inadequate, IBObjects (www.ibobjects.com) are very very good on both connectivity side and GUI componentry, and very well supported. NB: Another person mentioned the fact that your data transfer over the Internet would be in plain (=readable) text. This may or may not be an issue for your particular circumstances but, if so, there are standalone TCP encrypt/decrypt gateway applets out there which can ensure all your streams are hidden. Some overhead, but not heaps. > this sounds very interesting, do u have any documentation/links to that > could give me a kick off? what components did u use for these GUI's?? Yes, as noted, http://www.webhub.com -- trial software download, loads of demos, docs, etc. For the GUI apps, we are tending to just use IBObjects (per above) and Internet Mail Suite's (www.argosoft.com) THTTP component for the data fetching/posting (or you can use the THTTP one which comes with WebHub). cheers, peter =========================================== Peter Hyde, SPIS Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand * TCompress/TCompLHA component sets for Delphi/Kylix/C++ * TurboNote+: http://TurboPress.com/tbnote.htm -- top-rated onscreen sticky notes * Web automation for online periodicals: http://TurboPress.com Find all the above and MORE at http://spis.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
