Damn sweet icons you have there! Great job!

i have read, but not tested it, that if you get new mail and the new mail bade comes up it will revert to the original icon. if this is true. use the app.icns file in the archives…

Yeah, for mail, you have to change the app.icns icon in order for it to stay. Simply changing the icon in the "get info" window will make it revert back when you get new mail and t…

If you want to keep the SQL Server and write a cross platform web app, then your best bet is probably to go with ASP.NET. The only reason I'd see not to use a web based app is if …

Thanks to all for all the input! I did think about Java then remembered that I have never really learned the language properly, and have never developed with it before. I'm not all…

Thanks Arkham_c, I think I have some reading to do...

To continue on what flanders said, with WebObjects you could make both a web based app, and a java app for the desktop, and have both be completely cross-platform, without doing an…

Thanks for the WO recommendation. I've never used WO but this may be a good time to investigate it. Just started downloading the Eval copy...
