also kbmMW is an option. I have got good results until now with the combo Unigui/kbmMW. Used it mainly because of the RecNo-problem with DBIsam, but the potential of separating the db-layer from the Unigui logic is much higher. Working with some "services" in a kbmMW-server for db access (and other maybe error prone tasks, like printing) I expect the level of uptime of the core Unigui application to raise.

and charts without flash please - on the iPad the flash based charts are useless. In my business (financial/insurance) the group of iPad users is very fast growing.

It is a known issue with some DBs, f.e. DBIsam and ElevateDB. Search through the forum to get some statements from the UniGui programmer what is the reason and what have to be done on his side to make this work. In the meantime you can use some middleware like kbmMW or RemObjects. Using an additional tier also opens the world to an universal DB-access. But using f.e. DBIsam with a middletier server is far more complex than just only integrate DBIsam for data access, also because there is little or outdated documentation and not every middleware tool has such an excellent vendor based support like UniGui with this forum. If the middletier tool vendor does not provide free support based on a web forum, it is likely that you have to pay 150$ per hour to the vendor to get your questions answered.
