Hello, My $0.0175us
#1) IANAL - I Ain't No Advise Lawyer #2) Original Post...............*if I can put this GIS in my intranet.....* NOTICE the last word *intranet* - private within the owners lan domain Does not seem to be a type of *internet* -- public over world wide web But sometimes the two words are used in the wrong context Assuming this is *intranet* within the office. MapBasic could be used but it will not be as robust as integrated solutions build with Delphi, VB, C--, Jiva or some other language I have set up ProViewer with specific desktop links to different *.wor to launch, which works great for things like finding out where a specific property/lot is located, with the wor loading needed maps and the user doing *find*. I also wrote an app called ProV_Designer [in Delphi] that is a bit complex in providing the functionallity of opening maps, layers, querying, etc which then builds the needed wor and kicks off ProViewer. This was more of an experiment with what can be done in a wor [even sql works] more than a distributable/functioning program. Such as in a property tax office, having radio buttons for Acct. ID, Name and Address and a edit box for the above information might be all that is needed to bring back PV showing the location and a browser with all the detailed data like the tax rate and value [everyone complains about paying too much]. Once the exact needs of the the user are determined, the complex GUI can be reduced to a few radio buttons, check boxes, edits and lists. This creates a more managable user interface resulting in less training on *how-to-do-sql*. Of course some training on PV, zooming/info/etc will be needed but it is better than $$$$$$ for *webware* to allow an occasional look-up by a TCI user [technology challenged individual]. ----------------- For every complex problem there are many answers -- one of which is clear, simple, and wrong.
