VIA QUICK INFO

Middleware with ODBC capabilities providing end-users and developers tools to integrate their legacy applications into Windows and the Web.

Access host data from ODBC-compliant Windows applications with the click of a button. Easily access, sort, retrieve, update (with security), and merge data between Windows SQL-based databases and your favorite host database

Virtually all industry-standard desktop productivity suites, reporting software, and GUI development environments use SQL and ODBC as part of their capabilities. That's because ODBC is still the most popular and easiest method of linking users to databases. ViaODBC-32 supports many MultiValue platforms including some for which no other ODBC alternative exists.

ViaAPI for Visual Basic allows programmers to use standard Data/BASIC programming syntax within the Visual Basic environment. File I/O, record locking, dynamic array manipulation, conversion processing, and subroutine calls are all coded in VB in a manner nearly identical to the MultiValue host's native programming language. This allows developers to use their existing MultiValue programming skills with best-of-breed Windows development software.

The ViaObjects component allows corporate developers to manipulate a MultiValue database within the Object-based development environments such as Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Delphi, and PowerBuilder are used to develop applications using Objects. ViaObjects encapsulates the capabilities of ViaAPI for Visual Basic functions into an ActiveX framework, providing developers with the ultimate method of linking MultiValue DBMSs with the Windows 95/98/2000 and NT environments

For those who want to minimize the amount of GUI programming they have to do, mvControls allows you to literally "paint" a form to access your host system, hiding many of the programming details..
