If you are using HTML then it's stateless, but you could use Silverlight if you want to go down the .NET route. Another option is to investigate a CMS like DotNetNuke which would take care of all the scaffolding like user logins and so on, and then create a custom module for your customer. But then you're not only scaling the VB learning curve but the DNN custom module curve as well. The first question I would actually be asking is - do they *need* a browser interface or do they just think they do ... is there any case for creating a regular Windows .EXE and having people run it in Terminal Services sessions or something. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
