Created a VB6 ActiveX applet to allow two levels of access to view or edit the asset data by evaluating membership of AD Groups. This applet was embedded in the ASP code and the relevent page on the webserver was set to NTAuthentication so the Windows Login credentials could be determined.Developed a front end menu to a Terminal Emulator that load balanced between several host servers using initially VB4 16 Bit for WinNT 3.51.This was later re-written in VB4 32 Bit for WinNT 4 platform.Migrated the code to VB5, but this was never used.The VB 4 32 Bit application was published over Citrix to 400+ users at United Utilites (Water).
