Hi All,
the subject might be too confusing, so to clear... I am thinking of an application to be developed in VFP9 that would do be able to do the following:
1. connect to SQL server as a client
2. multiple user capable
3. Real time reflections of data being updated
the application is some sort of record keeping, that would let users update and view records.. this part is fairly easy, the part that i am encountering problem is the realtime viewing..
i'd like the application to be able to display the current state of a record if that is being updated or not. for example, the user is updating the list of books that needs to be covered, while viewing the list of books, another user is tagging a certain book as being borrowed. on the screen of the first user that is updating the books for covering, that certain book is marked as available, but will changed into borrowed when the second user has finished tagging if for borrowing.
similar function like a chat board, where the screens continuously updates itself.
is this possible in vfp?
