Ok...but they're still web-based....just not "only" web-based. I think an approach where you're storing data locally and sync-ing with the web would be the best approach. But to use an approach like this would require the use of GUID primary keys, I believe. Integers wouldn't work because of duplicates generated from multiple machines, or you'd have very complex logic for handling of integer keys to avoid pointing to the wrong records. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
