Hi Robert,
That is interesting. The approaches I tried so far is a VFP DCOM on the LAN, and communications through DBF files, which allows the client/server scheme to work even under FoxPro DOS.

There are many good ways to approach this problem and I would be interested to see what others have come up with. The approach I took uses an ActiveX control to stream data between the client and server and includes the ability to run local, on a LAN or over dialup.
