Hi,

Does anyone know if C++Builder X provide any tool for letting
remote users access an application via internet?

I have a Windows application written using C++ Builder 6 that
connects to an Oracle Database. I would like to host this
application on a server (since it requires Oracle ODBC drivers,
etc.), and have the users access it via internet (or intranet)
remotely. Something like what Citrix's MetaFrame Access Manager
can do.

I am trying not to rewrite my whole application in order to have
it "web-enabled".

Any suggestions would help...

Thanks,
Jerri

I would have thought that Windows XP Pro SP1 has Remote Desktop, which I
have used to successfully "control" a PC hosting our Database App, over
the Internet. This has the advantage that the distant PC the client is
utilising, does not have to transfer great chunks of application and
database data. It just transfers keypresses and screens. Other solutions
require massive bandwidth to be useable.
