RE: Client/Server Applications - what to use?

[Mark Walter <mwalter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you can get up to VB6, use ADO. The CA/Express provider works very well and 
it's allot faster than ODBC.

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
