Walter,
Don't forget to ask your question as well in the newsgroup.
Microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet because I thought that there are
some guys with current experience with DB2.
My experience is to far back in time to give you a real good advice. Be
aware that you have to retrain your developers mentaly. Some advices.
Check if they don't use to much modules and shared classes. They will gladly
do because of the environment they come from.
Start direct to use Crystal Reports for printing and showing.
Start direct to use Source Save.
As last Visual Studio .Net is the development environment that covers
everything in a way a developer should think, so that decission is in my
idea not difficult.

>I manage a group of 23 developers for a large insurance company,
responsible for in house applications to support business needs. We
are looking at transitioning from RPG and DB2. We want to keep the
data in DB2 for at least a while, but we want to start developing the
front ends for a windows environment. VB.Net seems a logical fit for
us and most of our developers seem anxious to head in this direction.
We haven't decided on a development platform yet, so intelligent
feedback from anyone who has made this transition would be appreciated.
