The application has to be finished by April 2011.
Company has only 4 part-time programmers who are familiar with VB programming.
Company does not want to invest a lot of money for database system.
Company wants to cut down maintenance (training, technical support) cost as much as possible.
Application must run on Windows OS. The new system should be scalable in the
future.
