OK -

Sorry, but with the further description you've given I don't think I can 
be of much help. I had thought I may be able to help a little bit, as at 
a telecom corp. I used to work for we converted from VB/Access to 
VB/Oracle to Java/C++/Oracle to Smalltalk/Gemstone and then back to 
Java/Oracle again.

All for the same application.

I don't want to name the corporation, but let's just say they recently 
withdrew a product line that was supposed to provide high speed 
data/voice/video over a single line to a customer's house.

Given my earlier statements, I just can't understand why it turned out 
to be so expensive and an eventual failure.

Good luck on your hunt!

Subject: [pro_vb] RE: C++ Serialization with VB?


> As I'm not well loved on this forum, but nonetheless have (I believe) 
=3D
extensive experience at what you are describing, let me ask a question:

Are you saying that you want to move from an "objectified" DB to a =3D
relational one, and rewrite the app in VB from C++?


Thanks, and I don't care how well loved anyone is, if they can help! :)

No, the application saves the populated form object through C++
serialization.  The users can either create a new (form) or open an
existing one.  once they save the form they can reopen it fully 
populated
without ever touching a database.
