Hi Doug,

I guess this is one of those ofthen asked questions; why bother build the
"correct" infrastructure if it isn't needed? Well, you describe it as a
"small" application, so the question here is if it's more like a utility
than won't be extended in any major way in the future? If so, I'd say go
with the simple single layer approach,m saving time. However, if you will be
extending your app in the future, the second approach is probably the best.
Now, there are more issues you might want to consider, but I'm just trying
to keep it simple and give you an idea of how to gte started.

Hi I am about to start to build a small windows application that will
periodically retrieve selected data from a Database (DB2) and update an
Access DB.

My question is what is the best way to structure this VB Dot Net project.

Should I build all the logic into a single application layer
or have a main application layer that handles the scheduling and calls a
data layer that returns a dataset (holding the returned DB2 data) and then
pass the data set to another data layer that handles the updating of the
Access database?

Thanks for any advice,

Doug
