Re: Client/Server Applications - what to use?

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Visual Age RPG provides a fast way to bring up a client/server front end. 
It uses DDM.  We've also been messing about with Brad Stone's ideas for 
cgi RPG and that is surprising us with its success so far, especially as 
we really do want to get to a browser interface for a lot of the user 
applications.  Nina swears by ASNA's web enablement application.

There seems to be a lot of people using Visual Basic, but  do Visual Basic 
applications ever get finished and installed, or are they just 
works-in-process forever?

        Subject:        Client/Server Applications - what to use?

I have an application to write that I feel would benefit from a graphical,
ie VB5 front end. My question is - what is the best way to link the
application to the as/400....APPC, Data Queues, RDO/VDO, ODBC, etc, etc.
There would need to be a certain amount of validation to be performed on
various input fields, so constant communication between the two is
imperative.  Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.

Regards
Iain
