Well your point gives me an idea that DBCs should be in the local directory of the users and everytime they login, it checks if the date of the local DBC is lesser than the one available in the network. If it is lesser, then the system should copy DBC files from network to local.

Sounds ok to me.

>>>Give each user a local copy of the DBC. Deploy your views as .PRG files. When ever you need to use the view, you run the .PRG then USE the view.
>>>This will allow you to update the .PRGs without the user having to logout. You should also mark the DBC and the PRGs as readonly so they won't get use locks on them.
