I want to know how that scales.
what i mean is, the POS (Point of sale) application uses native dbf, and the clients (users), install the app and the data resides in their local server as dbf/dbc.
Now, some of those clients, want to have their POS be able to run from home, the store, etc..
that can be solved by having the data central and having vfp store the data and feth the data form a central server located in a data center or hosting company.
again, the data is owned by the client.
anyone done anything like this with VFP and remote server hosting?
sort of like a thin client vfp.
if you did, how did it scale?
is it descent speed (i know there are factors to the speed, internet connection, bandwidth, etc..)
we're talking about 500 users (each have their own applications), and each have their own data on the server (could be defined or filterd by LocID or something)
the exe is local to each client.
