Thanks Tore.

One More Help I desperately need from You. I am Searching to solve this issue since last couple of Months.

I have developed one application that Adds the path of POST Scripts files located on the Hard Disk in A database Table called Bills.DBF.

The BILLS.DBF contains the name of the PS File(Account Number ) and its location on Hard Disk. The Report section of The application is that when the user search for the file by Name or Account Number , its path is displayed on the screen and when the user clicks on it, the file Gets Opened (Using Shell Open command)

The application is running fine in one computer as Bills are located in same computer in which my application is.

MY Problem is that now I have been asked to connect that application with the CSC counter which is 10 Miles away from The computer having the application and the Data.

The CSC counter is connected via Router to Main PC.

I have Developed a separate interface for CSC which has only Search Option(Main Application has add/delete etc options).

I will be using the same logic to retrive Data from Bills File in interface Module also. BUT I DONT KNOW THAT HOW SHOULD I CONNECT THE TWO PC FOR EXTRACTING DATA IN INTERFACE MODULE?

WHAT SHOULD I DO PRIOR TO "SELECT * from BILLS ...." in My Interface application.

I have already used USE Bills SHARED in my Main Application

I Searched Google and Got many literature on it, but was not able to comprehend that.

Can You please give me some time and Guide me in simple steps that what should I do.

Regards
Harsh

>And note that if you open a table which is already open in another work area, the table will be opened with the same attributes as it was opened earlier. This is from help:
>When you open a table again in another work area, the table in the new work area takes on the attributes of the table in the original work area. For example, if a table is opened for read-only or exclusive access and is opened again in another work area, the table is opened for read-only or exclusive access in the new work area.
