Hi,

I posted this on emarcaredo newsgroup but thought I might also ask here in
case anyone has any input.  Thanks for your help:

Hi,

We are about to embark on an addition to our Windows server, PC
desktop-based application which will allow users to access database
information in a self-serve scenario.  The desktop-based application will
remain as it is our power user GUI, but some ancillary functions will be
made available to users via Internet Explorr and other browsers.  As an
example, an employee of an organisation will be able to see and change their
own address, phone nbr and email details.

We have all the business logic in Delphi 5 and want to be able to share this
with the web-browser based application.  We also have most of our
development knowledge using Delphi (as opposed to C, VB etc) so my main
question is what would you recommend we use to develop the web portion of
our application taking into consideration the above?  An important aspect
obviously is also timing, how long it takes, how much re-engineering etc
would be required.  Also we use DBISAM V3.30 (probably moving to V4 soon).
Cost isn't as much an issue, for example we would be happy to purchase
components such as DevExpress or IntraWeb or whatever else if it makes the
job easier.

Thanks for any advice.

Alex

If you want to stick with Delphi coding and need to re-use existing Delphi
code, then IntraWeb is probably your best bet.  You could also use something
like WebSnap, but that may involve a little more code for things that
IntraWeb may automate.
