Hello,

"data layer in VB"

mhh, as ODBC is outdated (not that's it's bad, i like it more than
OLE DB (ADO) or .NET drivers, cause it is the defacto standard on non Microsoft systems & the drivers are all very matured)

the problem will be if you wanted to access OLE DB later on .. you'll have to rewrite the whole data layer in VB cause accessing OLE DB data in VB forces you to use ADO - a complete other object system than the one you'll use to access ODBC datasources ..

that's why i would think about writing the data layer in VFP .. using a custom CursorAdapters baseclass you could abstract the differences between ODBC/OLE DB data easily. Not taking into account that data handling code is X times easier to write & maintain in VFP than it is in VB.

VFP also play nice together with ASP.

just some considerations that came to my mind ..

Regards
Christian
