Or you can go with citrix, or foxweb. Citrix won't require a rewrite and I've never set it up, but it works fine and handles multiuser well if you segreate the login folders...
Foxweb would require a rewrite, but it would work well, although I don't believe you would have the time as it sounds like you're pretty busy. Of course you could always go backwards to go forward.. Batch your daily results on the remote pc and send it nightly or several times per day to the main system. Will work for everything except when you need an up to the minute balance such as accounting.

Time spent here would be better to suggest real C/S data storage and consider using local cursors at best. Caveat is that the data is exposed on the web. So customer names, $$, & details could be picked by others. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/49407a05551a405581c34c888b68a...@stanpc ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
