Accessing remote data

[wes4dbt]

Si,
Sorry I'm so dense on this subject, but it sounds like your saying the app will be running on the network and you would be accessing it remotely thru Citrix. I was hoping to install the app and any supporting files like Crystal Report runtime or SQL Express on the laptop and only access the office file server to retrieve/save data to the database. Maybe that's what your saying and I'm just not understanding you correctly. My goal is to use as little of the file server resources as possible. Also I'm worried about having the supporting files/programs on the file server.

thanks for the reply

btw - This is not my office and I'm not involve in there network setup or maintenance. I wrote a large app for them in VB6 several years ago. It is a single user app that has been completely running on a stand alone pc. Now there talking about moving the data the a file server so certain people can access the data. they wont be using the VB6 app, I'm plainning on writing something in VB .Net 2010. It will be a small app and the db access will be limited to just a few tables.
