Hi Amanda

>The database only is on the 2003 server. The exes are on each of the workstations. The workstations are all Windows XP Pro SP2.

The .DBC is shared. This can be a bad thing with views.

Additionally, the DBC itself has code in the form of stored procedures. Having it also on the local machine will reduce network traffic and improve performance. This can be done with a launcher. When the user tries to launch your app, a smaller app is triggered instead. This app determines if the files on the local one are older than the ones on the server and copies the newer ones to the local. Once copied it runs the local.
