Cal, there are lots of ways to connect to Oracle but your question is not as simple as it might appear....
-what choices do you have for developing client software (VB only, C/C++,
scripting) and OS
-how many remote users, update/query ratio and transaction rate ?
-are the remote users clustered (like a remote office) or spread out (like
traveling sales reps) ?
-how sensitive is the data (weather reports vs employee salary history) ? -how often is the database updated ? -do you have the resources (people/money/training) to develop custom software ? -how soon *must* this be working ?
