I currently put the compiled app on a server then set shortcuts from local computers. If I were to compile the app and embed the forms etc and connect to the database in the startup file, but put the startup exe on each computer this would seem to me to run faster because it would use the forms etc from the local computer(not over the network). Are my assumptions correct? Tom Hart

However, if the compiled application is on the local computer and the database on the server, then the compiled application would need the command: CONN\\servername\sharename\dbanme And the shortcut on the local computer would link to the compiled application on the local computer.

Would the setup above work? Tom Hart
