Thanks Robert, that would be useful. It seems to be really difficult to get reliable advice on what the options are with distributed computing.
I have a site down south (with no broadband access) where they have my app (DBISAM database) running in their main office capturing production data. They want to provide access to this production database from a couple of satellite offices (even further from a broadband connection). Typical use would be about 10 - 15 mins a day of running reports. We have provided an inexpensive practical service to them to date by zipping and emailing the database to the satellites each night. But now the database is getting too big. So what other options are there? I suspect that there will be many options (from advisers to corporate NZ) involving squillions of dollars. I can't help thinking, though, that if I could just talk to the right person there would be a simple practical, low cost solution. It would be nice to think they could just dial up and synchronise the database, one way - server to client. (or am I being naïve - and there are no longer any 'simple solutions') Mark On 11 Dec 2002 at 10:42, Robert Martin wrote: > I have a PDF (about 2mb) that gives some straight forward info about > TS.
