Hello there,

I'm supervising a student who is writing a decision support system for
me and I have been advised that it should written in JBuilder rather
than CBuilder (which was my original intention). This language cross
over was due to our need to produce a program that could be run locally
on a PC desktop and then at a later stage taken and placed on the
internet for access by our clients. So with this cross over in language
we have some questions that I'm sure are basic but we don't seem to be
able to find a straight answer, and I'm hoping that someone can help us
out.

1. Can java stand alone applications be simply put to work as applets if
higher functions like file io is avoided?

2. If we were to write a applet  that reads/writes to a DB which resides
on our network server are the tools there in the JBuilder Professional
version that will allow us to do this.

3. The whole question of DB and communicating over the internet is very
"fuzzy", can anyone suggest any good online resources?



Thanks in advance to anyone that offers any help.
