<plug> that would be VPLUS+ from  BizNetTech.net -- takes any VPLUS
application, redirects the calls to a java-based client so that ANY client
can use these apps without increasing user licenses </plug>

ODBC with Visual Basic, or other such tool will do the trick.

<Another plug> ADBC/API from BizNetTech.net will also fill the bill here,
for direct access to TurboIMAGE dataases using native and familiar
TurboIMAGE calls in a Java application or applet. </another plug>
