Hi Experts,

Is it advisable to use a VFP application to access native tables over a VPN network? Or is this a poor practice?

I have tried it with a client who has three remote offices. All three have DSL internet, each with a DLink VPN Router installed. All three remote offices have my application (EXE) installed with PATH statements pointing to a mapped drive Z: over at the main office.

The app is able to access the tables alright, but is snail-pace slow. We also tried copying and pasting test files (any file VFP or otherwise) and it really is SLOW.

I was wondering if:

1. This practice sucks and is not advisable;
2. Could it be an ill-configured VPN router that's the culprit.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Dennis
