That C/S, by sending only the request to the DBMS and receiving back only a cursor of data is no cure for the problems as I explained them to you in my request for explanation. You seem to imply that the way Foxpro handles that over communication lines to and from a (then) file server cannot be markedly amelioated by implementing C/S.

Well, the answer is...it depends. How much data? And particulalry...indexes, which is what will be transmitted for the searching. And when the desired data is found, how much will be transmitted. Do you want to see a list of all clients? Then the entire client table has to be tranmitted? Are you looking for client #34582? Then the index is transmitted...followed by the data. Then, when you want to find client #634232, the entire index is again transmitted...again followed by the data. The choice to go C/S really differs for each circumstance.
