Tim,

Thanks for responding. I agree, it sounds more like a 'thick-client, client-server' apps.

Unfortunately, one of our competitors is using the approach, so we have some people who believe it might be a good solution. My question is this...do you really gain that much more performance in taking your business layer and having it reside on the user's desktop (as opposed to having a 'business' server?)

Thanks,
Kevin

P.S. I like your quote at the end of your signature. I used to be a big Ayn Rand fan.
