Virtually anything now have ability to connect to SQL Server using ODBC or OLEDB and get/update data. You require to formulate question by another way: "What is used the most often", or "what is better", and also tell what tools are available for you and what level of complexity you need in the application.

VB could be used for most average-scale applications.

VFP also is very good tool that could be used also to build really large application interfaces and do data processing using its built-in data engine.

You might be interested to make WEB interface to your application using ASP or other technology.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

I have used VB for applications for 50+ users with excellent resusts. Also I am starting to use Visual Interdev for web access.

Have used Java and Perl as a front end at times just to learn something new.

The easiest and quickest of these has been VB.

Primarily, we are using VB and ASP. We have some FoxPro and Access applications as well as COTS packages using VB, ColdFusion and Java.

Some of the VB and ASP applications are used by 1500+ employees. Some of the applications handle over 100 concurrent users. Terry L. Broadbent
