I have a fairly small VFP9 app that uses local tables as it was only ever supposed to be used by one person on one machine. Now they want two people to use it but across a WAN with fairly small bandwidth. it works... sorta, but performance is dreadful and it freezes so often that it is virtually useless. Not really surprising since it is local files across net-connected drives in another state! Sso my job is to find a solution. I've already quoted on a rewrite into client server, but this is a large corporate so it means that decision making is glacial and so that decision will come about sometime afar off. in the meantime I am tasked with finding a workable solution with the existing app. So what I am looking for is some ideas and suggestions.
I have thought of Remote Desktop running a copy of the app on the local server, but I cant see IT agreeing to that (and fair enough too). My other thought is for both users to have local data and a second mini-app to keep the data in sync. a bit messy but workable. Im just wondering if there are any other more elegant solutions that you geniuses can come up with that can be put into the existing app without a significant rewrite.
