Marco,
The mechanics of a database running on the same local drives (ie: the
server) is the same whether it's Sql Server or RBase, since the recordsets
never leave the physical server environment.
When it comes to the DBMS, then you are talking apples and oranges. Sql
Server requires a different toolset to manage and not because I'm biased
in
any way, but RBase wins that contest hands down.

Hi,
I was at a company using only thin clients connected to a desktop server.
I
was surprised to see how easy and fast the concept was. Even the local
printer was always available on any place.
In this way there is no need for web access. I have seen also some trouble
with connection error, browser updates, etc.
Is there experience which Remote software is the best to work with R:BASE
on
server and on client (Windows / IOS).
I am only not sure if in this concept it is wise to use the R:BASE
database
or SQL Server is a better choice for faster access on a network.
Regards, Marco

Jan,
I have become a HUGE fan of running using Terminal Services and logging
with Remote Access. You get the best of both worlds, only 1 copy of the
EXE
to update and nothing running across the network, it all runs on the
server.
Licenses are cheap too. There can be some challenges setting up printers
but
I can probably help you with that. That's my 2 cents worth.

Tom,
Thank you. That get's rid of the message.
No have to figure out why it takes 10 seconds to start.
Some network security issue somewhere I guess.

On you con
The app has to be pulled across the network each time and answer the
question "is this exe safe?"
have you tried under internet options>security>local intranet>advanced
set file://'yourservername'
that will get ride of the message.

Looking for some feedback.
I have been using the compiler for years but am looking at my
configuration.
There are 2 basic ways to use this on a server.
1. Compile the app to an EXE an place it on a server
Pros
Ease of maintenance and distribution
Pathing is easy (put a shortcut on a machine with the "start in" for
the
server which allows easy access to subfolders)
Cons
The app has to be pulled across the network each time and answer the
question "is this exe safe?"
2. Compile the app and place it on each machine
Pros
App on machine. Only data is transfered (especially if you put your
forms in the EXE)
No security question
Cons
Pathing to subfolders of database is more difficult
I would really like suggestions on solving the con of option 2.
TIA
Jan
