I have a client with accounting software written in VB4.0. Even though the company that wrote the software is still in business (and apparently going strong), they have not yet got around to updating the app to 32-bit VB. No, really. Stop laughing, it's not funny! :-P

Anywho, my clients want to do the whole 'web' thing they've been hearing about, and have hired a programmer, chosen MySQL and PHP as their technologies of choice, and are ready and raring to go. Except for the whole "can't connect to the database from the accounting/inventory/pos software"-angle. So, any ideas or suggestions on how to get a 16-bit odbc driver for VB4? Or alternative methods of making this work? Any and all ideas will be considered, except for throwing away the old and moldy junk. They've been using it for most of 10 years, and see no need to change.

To recap: VB4 software running on windows, connecting over the network to linux server running apache/php/mysql.
