I have a multiuser application, it is not client-server. The app has all the necessary record locks and file locks. How a user working on a network machine other than the server on which the application resides will access the software on the
server?
Thanks in advance for help.
 
Create a shortcut to your application on the server from the station you want to run the software on. Any OCX or dlls that are required by the app will have to be intalled and registered on the station.

Assuming the data is on the same drive as the app you could then easily find out the assigned drive letter of the server by the command fullpath() and then from within the application set the paths to any directories you may be using.

Hope this may be of some use to you.
