We set up our application so that the tables are on the server and the executables are on each local computer.

There are some glitches that occur when it is set up this way that don't happen when everything is set up on one computer. (Skip not skipping, mentioned in a previous post, for example) Unfortunately, some clients need to have more than one computer access the same tables, so I can't install the exe and tables on a single workstation.

What I was wondering is if it would be better to put both the tables _and_ the executables on the server. The workstations would then run the executable that is on the server.

Is this possible? Will a VFP app have trouble if you're running the same executable on multiple workstations at the same time?

And do you think it will help? My theory is that the message to the table to skip to the next record is getting lost on the way to the server. If the executable and tables are on the same computer, this doesn't happen. So If I have the workstations run the executables that are on the server with the data, theoretically the message shouldn't get lost.

What do you think?

Thanks,
