Thanks for the reply Tom. Unfortunately, we are being pushed towards web-development for the wrong reasons. Management here (I work for a public facility) has no real understanding of what web-enablement means. They think it is going to solve all of our problems in ways such as we won't have to do client PC maintenance for apps anymore. It is this uninformed thinking that is causing me grief. To think web development is going to make PC support disappear for apps is absurd unless all they want is straight HTML (and not even then). However I have to go along with it despite the fact I know more then they they. I know I know. Join the crowd.

I currently develop in VB6 with SQLServer7 as my back end and use crystal reports for reporting purposes. All of our clients are at IE 5.5 on Win95 (and some on Windows 2000). If I can't provide the same look and feel I currently get with my VB executable apps then I really don't see the point. What I am hoping to get out of this thread is a push in the direction of where to start if I want to do VB development and have it presented on the Web. What I have been unable to find surfing the net is clear answers as to what skills are necessary to start presenting high quality apps over an intranet (and possibly internet). I hear everything about things like ASP and DHTML with no clear understanding of how all of these pieces fit together. Should I just throw away everything and start with VB.NET and ASP? Is this what everyone else is doing?

Please keep in mind that while I am quite comfortable with VB in a client/server environment I don't know the first thing about Web technologies. I'd probably have trouble displaying "Hello World" in HTML. :(
