Hi Bonnie,

The current application is not web-based. Several of my clients, however, have specifically asked if it could be web-based. They want to be able to have mobile access to the application.

Thanks,

TFISHER

I suggest using WebServices for access to your data and continue to use a WinForm GUI. It can be used the same way then for both the big guys and the little guys.

For those larger agencies that have high speed Internet access and want a web-based application, I want to provide it. For those agencies that aren't there yet, I still need to provide a Windows application. I don't want to have to write two completely different applications -- I want to just change the GUI -- if that is possible.
