Trevor,
thanks to your quick response. I was thinking about it... I was trying to make one app, not two, but I think that's the way to go, the time I'll take to create a HTML interface is bigger thant the one I'll use to modify the current rev interface, now let's build a server... (heck!)

I am now thinking in doing the other way, I make the server using my webserver stack and valentina, and they access it by the web, they can pass thru the firewall to do webrequests... but that's ugly I hate deploying apps using web interface. It's just simple DBs with 6 tables and couple joins... should be easy!!!!
I look forward to some advise for I must deliver this yesterday, and they just phoned to say that the other companies will use the program, that's why I am in a hurry... that's also the money that should take me to malta. And since they are publishing and marketing company they know nothing of IT they think that for them to use an app and for outside-of-lan-ambient people to use the same app is trivial.... hell!!!!! firewalls!!! fake IPs!!!!!!
anyone here got an advise or idea, I am begining again from the scratch so any advise is good.
Here is how I think I would approach it -
Client
Rev application which makes requests over port 80 to a PHP/Perl/Rev CGI which talks to the central DB (MySQL, Valentina, etc.). The data is returned in a predetermined format. Your app parses returned data and populates the interface as needed. You don't have to redo your interface, just the how the data is obtained.
Server
PHP/Perl/Rev, etc
This will do all the talking to the db. A request might look something like this:
http://mycoolserver.com/mycoolapp.php?GetFunnyRecords
GetFunnyRecords would run a predefined query and output the data to the client. The data could be like a slimmed down xml -
<status="OK"> <error=""> <records> <record> <name>bob</name> <id>12</id> </record> </records>
or just return one url encoded record per line (with status and error message being lines one and two) depending on your data.
Would this work for you?
