Hi,
I'm currently working with a 'classic ASP' intranet site which uses
a
SQL server and am looking for possible ways to market it as an
application for certain medical fields. Where would be a good place
to start with this?
What are you wanting to do?
a) Offer your application over the Internet?
b) Offer your application as a standalone utility?
c) Assistance with marketing your application?
Per your subject line "Converting Website to 'Moveable' Application":
Do you want to "move" your application to a Web server on the Internet
that you control or to the intranet Web servers of your customers?
Or do you want a fully portable application that doesn't require a Web
server? To do this approach you could convert the SQL Server database
to SQL Server Express (or MS-Access) and the ASP pages to an HTA.
Many thanks - yes, the fully portable application is what I was
getting at. Will look into these options.
It can be fairly straightforward to port an ASP page to an HTA file.
It's a little trickier when you want to merge several pages into a single
HTA.
A word of caution -- the logic in your ASP pages resides on the Web server
and is not exposed to the client; however, with an HTA they have the code.
One approach to "securing" some of the application would be to require an
Internet connection to your Web server to perform some aspects of the app.
