Hi Andrus

I once saw an entire accounting department halted because Lotus 123's overlays were on the server. The server froze, and the part of Lotus running in the PC's RAM couldn't get to the stuff in the overlays on the server. The result was the files couldn't be saved even locally.

I don't know exactly what VFP would do if its overlays were on a server that froze. Do you want to risk that <g>? What are the performance implications when 25 workstations access the server for VFP stuff vs having the same stuff on the PCs?
