 Is there a better,best Web tool out there that makes this easier?


we use the asna platform for web development. 

the web server is a p/c running iis, and the as/400 is a database
server.  asna has a product called datagate that serves the as/400 data
to the p/c.

the programming is done using their 'avr' or visual rpg.  these are
compiled as dll's and the routines are called from the web pages, using
active server pages. 

once i got the hang of it, it was pretty easy.  in fact, after a week of
class, i had the first page up in several weeks.  

as far as good, better, best, i would imagine that much of it is
personal preference.  and your needs. and your budget.  and your time
tables.  and your prior experience.
