You are absolutely right. My bad. I will TakeNote of that! Actually I have written a number of client server applications going against db2 files, however, this one is strictly a file server application. Sorry

A client/server application does the vast magority of the processing on the server and returns to the client just the information requested. The VFP data engine resides on each client and therefor the processing occurs on the client and not the server.

Using local view with the idea of converting to remote views later if needed.
