I was tasked last week to create a bandage for a certain issue we are having involving our company and a customer. We have an application that uses FoxBase .DBF files and I am tasked with developing a solution that can will connect to several of these databases remotely for the normal stuff - querying, updating etc.

So far I have 2 ways of approaching this:

1. Write a simple .NET application that will access these files which are placed on a IIS server - probably version 6.0 as it is XP.

2. Since it is already on a IIS server - perhaps is would be easier developing a .ASP solution and having all the work done server side. If I go this route, I may try AJAX since it is new to me.

I am not asking for any code just some simple advice as to which direction the more experienced coders on this forum would go - or perhaps a new idea.

TIA
