>>Hi,

>>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.

>pcAnywhere simply allows you to access a computer from another location, usually over a phone connection or the internet. Only one person can control the computer at a time. It will not add multi-user functionality to your app. There are several issues in the design of your app to make that happen. Too many to mention here, but there is a chapter in the VFP help file that provides a lot of good information.

Thanks for the reply. I understand many of the multi user issues as I have an app running at work with over 200 users. My problem is that these 2 guys are not on a network however they both want to access the data. Also I don't want to makr the app a WEB app as they would not want to pay for that. Either PcAnywhere or netmeeting could be used if all they wanted to just run the app remotely. However they want to both be able to access it at the same time. So I was hopeing that maybe there was a way for them to just be able to connect to a shared data drive on one pc from the other using PcAnywhere. If that is possible then I know how to make the app multiuser.

Thanks
