[snip lots of interesting stuff] Thanks for the reply, Steve. My thinking has followed a similar path to yours, so it is good to have some validation. I have decided that my next step will be to set up a server program as discussed, and move all my authentication and business logic there, then get a client program working using the same gui as at present, but communicating with the server for most of the database stuff instead of doing it by itself. I am aware of Dabo, but I have not looked at it yet. I got my own framework working before Dabo came along, and it works well enough for my purposes, so I don't really want to go back and reinvent that wheel at the moment.
