Thanks for your input Claude,

>First, I would check with IT Retail to see if they have a web product
I did check with IT Retail, they do not have a web product.

>Hosting the web site in-house gives more control, but, you might save more money if it is hosted.
What kinds of control issues are relevant?

>If it's hosted, you'll need remote ODBC access to the database or some sort of mechanism for duping the data.
I would assume remote access is slower than local access. Probably a duping mechanism that placed a copy on web server would help with the performance. Am I right?

Yes West-Wind’s “Web Store” is looking pretty good at this point. Are their any known issues you’d want to relay to a newbie?
