Let's assume my IP address is > 192.182.3.207, and the server machine name is 'MyServer' ... So......... What's your main problem? Besides the instalation process (installing and starting the database on the server, and adding the comunication dll to your system folder on the clients), you just need to feed the correct ip address to your application and make sure that there's no firewall blocking the interbase port on the server... There's really nothing to do :) Here I use ZeosLib to connect with firebird, it's pretty nice... But if you want to have a very fast communication, take a look on IBObjects... Since it was made for interbase/firebird there must be few layers and work arounds to support other databases ;] > Question 2: > In my standalone application, i've found that my application is way too slow > to show a > form with data..

All those sequential controls/commands aren't nice to be used with any SQL database, so, try to avoid using such things (specially in a client/server application), the problems and slowlyness will grow together with the users of your program =] Try to just ask something to the database when you really need to (I mean, dont open huge queries at initialization... like "select * from table"), try to page the results and filter everything... I mean, don't give to the user a list full of clients, but a search form =) You can see very nice patterns on the web development, take a look on how everything is done and just copy the behaviour on your program... Things will run very fast ;] -- "ME ALIMENTE [http://br-linux.org/noticias/002750.html] hehe" "Invente, Tente!!!
