What about using VB.NET? The reason I bring this up is because the app could become cross platform compatible if the *nix users have the Mono runtime. There may need to be some tweaking, but if you are just doing basic connections, and you use the ByteForge mysql connector to connect to the database, you should be able to just move it to a mono enabled system and run the app. We have some apps at work that were build in vb.net on a windows xp developer system and our ops team uses linux as thier desktop with mono and they have no issues with the core functionality. Web Service calls are a little rough, but the rest runs fine on a linux box.
