Hello all,

I'm new to client/server, so forgive me if this question is stupid.

I’m developing an application that will access about 3-4 Million in the primary table and lots more in secondary table. I have about 20 users local on a 100Mbt Netware server for which I would prefer direct data access or local views, but I have 5 that access the data over T1. Obviously they will need C/S. Must I have all users in a client/server? I see some products like Advantage Database Server will access Foxpro native files. Can I have some users access the files remotely through C/S and others access the same files locally? I assume not, but just checking.

Any comments on Advantage Database Server would be helpful as well.

Obviously, I’m trying all sorts of contortions to avoid having to learn and maintain an Oracle or SQL server database. If they'd just let me upgrade to T3 ...

Thank you in advance for your comments.
