Robert Just to be sure I understand your suggestion. Run the app at all sites but capture any transactions at the remote sites in a form that they can be sent to the HO site for inclusion in their database? I guess with Paradox I would need to include code throughout the app to capture all transactions ( I know Informix used to do this for you - probably still does). Where do I find out about NMSMTP etc?
