You need to start thinking in terms of the client-server rather then having the mechanism for accessing the database being the same as the database itself.

Oracle has a product called Oracle Forms that can be used to create applications, but it is pricey and not everyone likes it. For a programmer it is just as easy to write VB applications that use ADO to access the database. Received on Sat Mar 30 2002 - 07:01:02 CST
