Firstly let me apologise for cross-posting, but I'm not too sure where this
message should go (probably in the bin :>).
For the past few months I've been developing a Visual Basic front end to our
customer database. The project needed to be up and running fairly quickly so
not knowing java I picked VB. My manager and myself both agreed at the time
it should be browser based due to the fact we have both PC and Mac clients,
but speed was the major issue.
The IT Director has now turned round and said that he wants a browser based
version within 2 months. Now as I said I don't know java, or jdbc, or beans,
or whatever so I'd be grateful if someone out there could tell me of a tool
which will take my VB code and its components (ADO, datagrid etc) and
convert them into java or active server pages or something I can embed into
a browser page.
Unfortunately Mac support is essential, personally I'd load a skip with the
Macs and solve my problem that way.
I don't have a problem with learning a new language, but time and lack of
experience in the language would probably make a dogs dinner of the whole
thing.
Anyway thanks for bearing with me.
Could you reply via e-mail as well as the newsgroups.
