My own decision on this exact question is to explore a web service solution, where the data is equally available to every end-user device.  5250, iPhone app, android app, web page, whatever comes down the pike, you have it all covered.  The data, business logic, and system needs are all defended, and the only opening to it is through your CRUD web service.

Once that is done, providing your users with the user experience they desire becomes fairly trivial for all the various disciplines.

Having said that,  I am finding the web service implementation to be stretching my capabilities but that should not discourage us, should it?

Here's a loaded topic to discuss: I have a new simple CRUD app that I need to create. Being an old RPG programmer, I have a bevy of "Work with" green-screen programs at my disposal that I can copy and modify.

But, I want a modern interface. So, which direction would you go? .NET, CGI, Excel spreadsheet, etc., etc.? Why?

Note: the file resides on the i, and will stay there.
