VB App to Interdev?

[rtshort]

How difficult would it be to make a VB App (database based) work on the web using Visual Interdev? I saw the other post on here about using Interdev compared to VB, but I'd kind of like some idea how difficult it would be for someone with a little VB experince to do.

I have a database app that I may want to make web based. If there is a better way than Interdev I'd appreciate knowing that too.

TIA Rob
Just my $.02.

If the VB app 'exposes' a COM interface, then you can call these very easily in VBScript or JScript.

<%
dim oVBApp
dim rsResults
set oVBApp = CreateObject(&quot;MyVBComObject&quot
set rsResults = oVBApp.aResultsetReturningFunction()
do until rsResults.eof
%>
<tr><td><%=rsResults(&quot;aColumn&quot%><td><tr>
<%loop%>
...and so on...
(thats the idea/benefit of COM).

However, in all liklihood your VB app is not written using COM (i.e. as Classes in an n-tier model). In any case Visual Interdev (after some training/experience) makes it fairly easy to put together reasonably complex database applications. Using the DataEnvironment and DTC's will speed up development work, if you can figure out their little foibles.
