Some folks would prefer the rules in a business object instead of the database. Me, I prefer a little of both. The rules in the data side are to force instant field validation of values. However, I should say that since I've switched over to using MySQL on the backend about 4 years ago, I've not had rules in the db, but instead had the BizObj take care of the validations. No problems with that approach so far for me. > > A web app has the power of change. Quick change, across the world > with very little impact on your infrastructure when you do.

It's definitely an easier deployment since you just update the common page that everyone is using. Of course, hopefully you're pilot went well so you just didn't wreak havoc on all of your installations causing you to seek ledges on tall buildings. ;-) > > CSS to control the look of your site is fantastic.
