I am looking for some general guidance. (pardon the ignorance). We
currently have a vb6 app talking to a vb6 DLL talking to an SQL sever 2000
database.

Our goal is to take our existing application to VB.NET and connect to the
SQL database through an internet connection. I am looking for some very
general ideas of how to even begin. I have a couple of questions that may or
may not be easy to answer. My biggest question is what becomes of the DLL
that we currently use? It is this DLL that makes the connection to the
database and does any database related functionality.

I guess I am mainly looking for some reference on where we would begin to
take what is existing and start to convert it. If anyone has any links or
advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Wendy
