Hi Michelle,

My first thought is that this will be based on the requirements of the app. I have apps with both the exe and data on the server and both on local. I am now working on an app where the exe is local and the data is local and on the server. However, if your users requirements of the app allow for both to be on the server you must still make sure that any necessary files (VFP500.DLL, ActiveX class registration, etc.) are on the local machine. As a side note, if your apps SKIPs against tables on the server are being "lost" (collisions?) on a regular enough basis, network traffic and utilization should be looked into. HTH

(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.

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.
