I'm sort of stuck with Windows ODBC because the app I'm interfacing to is written in Clarion and they only have Windows ODBC drivers (and it seems I'm lucky to have that.) > All that being said, if the server hardware is fairly modern, and the > user base stays level, it should handle it just fine. My only concern The hardware is brand new as of about 1 month ago. Dual Core Xeon 2.33 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 292 GB RAID5 (3 x 146GB). They were on a NT4 box 700-800 Mhz (I forget) 512 RAM, 20 GB IDE drive previously (No Exchange though) I don't expect the number of users to grow significantly and of those users only about 10-15 have email. The point is taken though. I'm going to get some load stats on the current server and put a mid-size server in my proposal as a contingency. > lot of "ZOMG, my project is DOOMED!" churn in the API.
