There are a lot of ways to get access to a remote machine, as we keep

discussing here. You're going to need access to update and debug and

troubleshoot anyway.

Rick says WebConnect will work either way:

I'd suggest you use the framework and tools you're familiar with. If those

require a DBC, then remote access becomes a requirement for the

application, not the other way around.

I always use a DBC. And a framework. But that's just me. I support clients

who have everything from ported FoxBASE apps to every framework you've ever

heard of (except FoxExpress, strangely) and home-grown 'frameworks.' The

home-grown ones are more expensive to the client, hands-down.

Let's talk "tabs versus spaces" next. We haven't done that go-round in a

long time :) Or which server is "best." :)

Happy Friday, folks!
