I have access to the computer where they are wanting to serve as the main computer. It just a computer that will server as the holding computer for the data. Not even having a server package installed. Basically a shared computer amongst 4 employees.

That's where conceptually, I was going to put the DBC , on the main computer and have the application installed on the client computers w/o the dbc. Thinking about it out loud (typing). Would I still be able to use remote views for the application data entry etc?

>>Also, give that setup. Would you say having the dbc as part of the application project or it's own project and just install that on the main server? Is there anything out there that would explain how to setup a client server setup with vfp ? and using remote views.

>No, DBC on every comp is no-no for me. Like I said I prefer using CAs. That is so more flexible.
>Also I prefer all executables to reside on local computers and the database should be somewhere else.

>From our experience - you just make setup for your executable (NO DB included)
>When you need to install DB just send it to IT guys of your client.
>If they do not have such then make sure you have access to the server where you DB will reside and install it their by yourself.
