>I have heard many things about this question but want to confirm. What are pros and contras for installing VFP exe on local hard drive versus server installation. I know that local installation is preferred but would we get something real from server exe in regard to using Server RAM resources? TIA.

Regardless of the exe location, the application still loads in the clients RAM, doesn't it ? The exe location affects our ability to upgrade and distribute it, mostly, I think.
