Ive done this a couple times before, but as others have said, it is truly murderously slow. And in many cases so slow as to be useless. And then add a second user and suddenly it is almost unworkable with data corruption and other disasters. Quite simply, don't do it.

Client wants to put the VFP database folder and files on their server in SomeWhereElse, PA and have a workstation in SomeRemoteTown, PA work over the VPN. So basically, can the app reside locally and access the data folder over the VPN? Or must I locate everything on the VPN? Or tell him this won't work? tia! --Michael VFP9SP2 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ 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.
