Thanks Paul for the info. I was thinking of fat/rich-client situation. Well I'm sure it can be done but if MM can do this behind the scene, it will be great. It will take away a chunk of testings needed.

So far most of the frameworks does not address this and it left to developers to fiddle here and there. I believe the reasons why many developers have not jump over to do web apps because of html and jscript fear. IMO the attention of voodoo and Visual.Net (win forms?)is b'cos it can do away with html and jscript.

Regards.

There isn't any mechanism to directly convert a fat-client MM's app. to work with a WC backend. You would have to code something like this yourself. I have a MM's app that does something like this right now - the MM's app. feeds data to a WC server, which shares data with another MM's app.
