I can't speak much for VB5, I stopped using it back in VB4 out of frustration for it's lack of abilities.

As for Delphi, it's very easy to do if you have Delphi Client/Server. If you try to do it with Delphi Desktop or Professional, I believe it's impossible to do but I'm not positive.... it's been along time since I worked with either of those versions.

We have a major suite of applications (9 in all), accessing an Oracle 7.3 database, with hundreds of simultanious users. After exploring many tools having to access Oracle, Delphi 3 C/S won hands down.

From my experiences, I switched to Delphi 4 years ago and everytime I had to do something in VB it just reinforced my belief that their is no comparrison between the two. I'm sure there are some that will want to argue this with me, but hey - it's just what I believe.
