Have a look at http://www.adapower.com/. You should look into DCOM and stuff
and GNADE. With DCOM you should be able to re-use whatever VB skills you
have and use the JET objects to do the database stuff. GNADE uses ODBC.
Access has some ODBC stuff if my memory is correct (I am not use that you
need access as long as you have the ODBC driver for the JET db engine).
