Hi Trevor With UniVerse the ODBC, OLEDB & UniObjects come free with the database. If you have an older version of UniVerse and did not get these with the product then get hold of your supplier and they should be able to organise if free of charge.
Writing a front end for universe can be done in Minutes and cheaper than can be done frontending SQL Server. I have set up Web Services and Clients for UniVerse in .Net very quickly and cheaply. You can take advantage of current UV Basic Subroutines and the business logic already done in UniVerse and pass them to the client where all you have to do the GUI interface. There is a variety of ways achieving this according to whether you want to take the SQL approach or the direct interface. UniObjects runs a lot quicker than the SQL approach. You can contact me direct if you wish some further advice of approach.

Will need it to read data from the database aswell as write back. I know its expensive to write a frontend to UniVerse as you need o purchase third party software like Pick .NET DP. So i thought i could be able to get the data to the SQL server and then use the SQL for the backend to the frontend (which will be written in VB .NET) I have done an SQL frontend before and i would assume its easier than a UniVerse frontend.
