[TYPO3] interfacing with legacy applications

[Torkil Svensgaard]

Hi

I have recently been tasked with developing a web interface to an old legacy 
Access 97' application, with linked tables on MSSQL.
I have migrated the DB to MySQL, thinking TYPO3 would be a suitable 
framework to base the new web interface on, but I'm starting to wonder if it 
really fits my needs.

I have read through a lot of documentation and played around with TYPO3 but 
I can't seem to find a good way to get started, so I'm turning to you guys.

Is there a good way to make it possible for (FE) users to edit data, stored 
in various tables in a database apart from the database TYPO3 itself i 
running on, without altering the structure of the legacy db?

I was hoping it could be done taking advantage of TemplaVoila + HTML 
templates in some way.

Thanks in advance,




Torkil
