Re: Web Application: ASP or Delphi ActiveForm (ActiveX)???

How much activity do you expect. Lots of transactions or lots of users??? What is the knowledge base of the people that will be programming this thing???

There are many questions you need to answer. My personal choice would be neither of the choices that you provided, but rather to use OAS. It is generally faster and very scaleable.
