Hi thanks very much for your intrest in my issue

Currently the application is running multiple clients that are vb
front on multiple machines.. and a these clients access DB server.

1. The need is now that the clients will be put on diffrent
geographical locations in city
2. now these clients wil access db from remote location .. using a
public IP which will be assigned to the machine running the server

Very little of this is a VB or Oracle issue, other than perhaps
changing the entry in the tnsnames.ora file for the clients.

It is however a fairly large IT issue. Your client needs some IT
staff or a good network consulting firm.

The server cannot simply be exposed to the Internet; it would be
gobbled up by hackers 'n' spammers in minutes. They will probably
want something like VPN over SSC, which takes some hardware and
serious network engineering. When the dust settles, you then have a
server accessible to your client app just as before, with essentially
no change on the VB or Oracle end.

Correct!

If you instead choose to go the web-app way (I would), rewrite the
client-app as asp web-pages instead. If your existing client-app
have its business-logic separated into ActiveX dlls already, the
asp-pages can use it directly.

The asp.pages can access the db directly (ODBC), or you create
a data-access layer.
