Title:
Evolving from single user environment to network environment
I have an application that is used by several customers around Chicago. They all are single users on local hard drives. My next potential customer wants to run my app on a network. I have a few questions about this.
1. Should I (a) install the entire app (.exe and database) on the server and have them all access the .exe from the network, OR should I (b) install the .exe on all local drives and have the database on the server.?
If the answer is (b), I will need more info. How do I get the local .exe to point to the database on the network? What database issues exist on the network that are non-issues on local drives?
If nothing else, maybe someone out there knows of a book or online resource that outlines the entire process of installing a VFP app onto a network.
Thanks,
Rob Csenar
