FYI
I just installed an ADSL modem at home and thought I would try some things out. I have WIN95 running on my PC and also SQL Server 7.0. So at work this morning I managed to create an ODBC connection to my remote, at home, SQL Server database using my IP address as the machine name.
In VFP I created a connection using the ODBC DSN and then created a few remote views against the tables (I used the Northwind database). Performance is excellent, once the connection is opened (a little slow, but with shared connections, subsequent selects are very snappy!)
Anyway, it puts a whole new light on Client/Server.
