>>>I've done this and it can work -- depending upon how the application is written. If the app is using tables it can be a problem because if the tables are large then the app will run very slowly because it has to pull a bunch of data down. If the app is written with paramterized views and is only pulling small amounts of data then it should work just fine. Other option is to use remote desktop (or something similar) and have the app on a machine at the office.

>Thank you for the reply, I'll keep this in mind

The other thing to keep in mind is if they plan to be using their finger to hit buttons in the app (vs the keyboard or mouse or stylus). If they're going to use a finger then you might want to make the buttons on the screen bigger :)
