Author HELP!!!

I wonder if someone could help with a query from one of my clients.

I am an independant ebusiness strategist and one of my clients based in the UK has an extensive logistics dBase program.

This logisitics system has been developed over the years into a business critical operation, that is integral to the day-to-day running of the company.

The problem is that this system needs updating and bringing into the 21st century, to work with new market pressures such as operating over mutliple locations and being accessible over the web.

Is the easiest option redevelop the whole system in something like sql server or is there a method where a web interface can be placed over the existing system and pushed out to the web. It is critical to the businesses development that this can be acces
sed, securely, over the web.

Any ideas ??? I'm new to dBase and dont really know of its limitations or capabilities

Many Thanks

HI,

There are differnt options available to you.
You could indeed develop the web based system, keeping the sme old dbase
table level, so that when needed THe sqitch can be done easily.
Same applies to a desktop app.
If you want to move youre data over to a dbase level7 tables or to a backend
server like MSSQL, this is very possible. You would just need to have a
conversion program to mport the data once the rollover is ready.
There is no need to bring down the curent system while developing the new
one
