This sounds like a non-starter, way too much incestuous code munging.
Does the accounting system expose any other kind of interface (XML,
CORBA, native database libs, Sockets, RPC, HTTP)? You might be able to
hook-up to the exposed database through something like iODBC or JDBC,
but that won't help you with the application code (of course, using a
different interface won't help you use that application code either, but
the app might come with an alternate web client?).
What kind of code is executing on the client (within IE) that would
depend upon these components? Is this a native Windows binary? A Java
applet that uses native Windows components?
