Hi Stuart

You can create a shared folder on your PC and have your 2 copies of your exe access the files in that shared folder. Just map the same drive letter as your users. That will let you test the app in a simulated LAN completely on your PC.

UPDATE:

Also read the article in the zip entitled "A Guide to Buffering and Transactions in VFP" from this site: http://www.tightlinecomputers.com/Downloads.htm
