August,

Are you talking about the client-server interface or the
application-database interface?

ODBC can serve the same function it has been serving already for your
application. In fact, it seems that Microsoft seems to encourage programmers
to use proprietary connection methods rather than ODBC.

If an application is being re-hosted today, strong consideration should be
given to a web interface. This will provide a lot more flexibility over the
lifetime of the application.
