>I have an app that was designed to run stand alone. I was asked if I could make it multi user. There will only be 2 people using the app and there isn't the desire on their part or mine to make it a WEB app. So here is my question. I haven't used PcAnywhere but is it possible to use a PcAnywhere connection to the computer with the data tables on it and then map that drive. This way they can both be in the data at the same time? Or does anyone have a better idea.

Earl,

Since you mention a web app, are you saying that the two users are not connected by the "usual" type of network where the data resides on a server, or by a peer-to-peer network where the data directory could be shared?

With PCAnywhere you don't map drives; as Joel said you "take over" the computer. This would work if the users used the application at different times, one locally and one remotely. Once you're connected, PCA really looks just like you're on the host machine, except slowed by the connection rate. Bad for dialup, unless you're just starting a batch process or something, but great over DSL or other high-speed connection.
