I would recommend ASP.NET with the business layer written in VB.NET.

Because it is popular it is relatively easy to find IT Contractors to do
it, and training is plentiful at the moment.

I'll be available after Christmas :)

Marcus,

Given your data is now residing in a SQL database, theres no need for
custom DLLs - you can access SQL server using ADO natively from ASP
pages.
A skilled ASP developer could knock up a front end in a couple of hours.

This is the route I would go, using stored procedures wherever possible
to minimise the "business logic" that resides (and thus gets
duplicated)
in your ASP and VB front end code.

Citrix, although fantastic, is a huge overkill for what you require (web
front end to your database)

If you can put everything on the web, theres no client code to worry
about upgrading.

Cheers,
