Which Version should I go with?

[Bob]

I'm writing a database app and want to make it so that it can be run
with a Jet database in a local network or over the net via a mysql
database off of my server. Should I write it in VB6(Which I have
already done, minus the internet connectivity) or should I move to
..net? What options do I have for a local database in .net and what
obsticles will I have with distribution and installation?

use msde. if msde is out of the question then i'd go w/ mysql. there is a
huge performance difference between msde, mysql, and jet/access
databases...and, i've listed them in order of best performers first. i
would lean toward .net, but that depends on how much it's going to cost you
to convert your vb6 code. no matter what language you choose, either one
supports odbc so, your options are wide open for whatever back-end you opt
for.
