Hi all,

I am in the middle of an application which is going to require transfer of data between branch offices and head office and back again.

The project involves POS with branch stores sending their daily records back to head office and then head office sending the newly combined data from all stores back to each store. The largest chain of stores currently is 25.

These stores generally won't spend huge amounts on new technology, so, if someone has attempted this before I would like to hear how you went about it.

My thinking up to now has been scripted PC Anywhere for file transfers and custom written replication. Is this the best way or are there are other technologies to would be better.

Regards
Doug Johnston
