Hi Victor

>>Recently I demonstrated that an exe on a server is not copied to the pc before it is run. In fact, screens and other components within the exe are extracted/accessed repeatedly while the application runs.

Let's say you have a DBC that has nothing but a bunch of remote views in it...and maybe some local views that's just a combination of some of those remote views. What happens with the DBC? Is this something that should also be kept on the user's local machines like the .exe's ???

Of course it should be on the local machine or even compiled into the exe. See http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~CreatingDBCforViews~VFP.

Of course, with SPT or Cursor Adapters, you don't have that problem.
