Hi  (not sure if this should be Off Topic)
Some advice please.  I want to understand:
FIRST what is the simplest, least expensive solution that is
*possible*
SECONDLY what are the practical downsides of taking this simple
option compared to the "Ideal"

Situation

Client has 3 sites around NZ - both islands - one site doubles as
Head Office.
Want each site to be able to enter data and generate reports from
a database (same structure at each site).
Head Office needs to be able to generate site reports and
consolidated reports.
NOTE: We are talking a MAXIMUM of only 60 transactions per day
from each site.

If my application is currently running with up to 5 users on a
LAN does it follow that it should also run OK on a WAN with dial
up lines?  If not, what are the problems?
What sort of communications setup does the client need to
organise?
What changes do I need to make provision for in my application eg
do I need to upgrade to C/S?
Is it an option have separate databases and to arrange some sort
of consolidation each day? Prefer not to have to go this way.

I've had no experience with this sort of communications at all so
words of one syllable again please.
Again, I Stress,  I'm not after a "corporate" solution - just a
low cost practical one.  (No offence to those with "Corporate"
names!)

TIA

Mark
