one thing and a big question ! I am building a school management system. Problem in french schools is that computers are old and LAN slow. VFP is able to work with more than one Database. So I have a 'common database' on the server and a local database on each station. The local database helds (contains ?) all lookup tables AND view definitions. I update the local tables in the same procedure than the reindex one. So in one 'shot' (few seconds) I do both things. All local tables have a 'mother' on the server. It works great .
My question is : when I update a lookup table, I update the mother table on the server (and the all station must launch the reindex procedure). Can I write an update procedure on a special VFP app on the server ? in other words, we always access datas on the server from the local stations, can we acces the local datas (one at a time) from the server ?. Am I clear ?
