[AccessD] Choosing web technology

Hi Mark,

Rather than VB.Net, I should have said VB 2005/2008 for Windows.  This is
client/server development for Windows applications used on LANs or WANs.
This would typically be something to manage your business' internal
activities - like an ERP system, CRM, or QA processes.

Web-based apps consist of web pages written for the internet.  These are
typically a brochure site, or a sales site.  Web sites are typically where
your customers will interact with your company. 

Hope that's a better explanation!
Dan

Thanks Dan,
 
What would be the difference in your statements"VB.Net" or "develop
web-based system"?
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
