>I have a mandate to distribute a VFP application who should work as a client-server one. However I found a bad surprise when analyzing the way that VFP performs a query. A true client-server runs the query against the server and returns the results. Watching the SQL running through a bandwidth sniffer I did verify that the Client is constantly "talking" with the Server and occupying large amounts of bandwidth. I can't deploy the application without solving this problem.
