We have a two-tier windows application written in Delphi 7 and using a firebird / interbase database. We need some answers and suggestions. If you would like some information on our product go to www.medforcetech.com. If you have technical questions, ask. Only bid if you can answer all questions thoroughly. We have two issues: a) Running the client application to connect to a database over a WAN (using VPN) is slow. There is a lot of back and forth talk between the client and the server which slows down the program. b) We would like to offer our customers the ability to use our application as an ASP. Question 1) What are our options to take care of both these issues? Please explain each option, its pros and cons and what would be involved in following it. Question 2) One obvious suggestion was to create a web client. That way people using a WAN will be fast and we can offer an ASP. What are the options to do this? A web client, I believe, would limit our application. It would have to be run in a browser and some functionality might have to be cut. Am I correct? If so we can't have only a web client. Does this mean we will have to maintain two separate clients and every change we make to one will have to be done in two places? Question 3) I have heard a lot about .NET and know it can be used for web applications. Can we utilize this technology for our needs and what would be involved? Pros and cons? Question 4) Another suggestion had been to make our program three-tier. While this may take care of the speed issue, it is not a great option for an ASP because the client still resides on the local machine. However, that way we can still have only one client. Is this correct? Note: We need to stay on delphi and firebird
