I'm sure the licensing model for Apollo will be cheap... not!

Also, it seems you have two broad choices: you could build it as a CFML app,
where as Mischa mentions you could store the data in SQL Server. Sadly, CF
won't let you license CF for desktops/laptops/tablets cheaply at all, but
New Atlanta will with BlueDragon. Then you'd need desktop versions of the
database, and in 2005 SQL Server is called SQL Server Express and is indeed
free. As always, check MS licensing for more. I'm sure MySQL can help as
well.
The other broad approach is to instead use Flex/Flash. I know in pre-flex
days a Flash app could store data locally in "local shared objects", which
were like super cookies. I assume that still exists in Flex, and then you
could use another Flex/Flash app to sync that to the server.
Oh, just saw Precia's note about Apollo. Down the road, that's certainly
another (and likely easier) option.

Hi Max, welcome to the group!
I did something like that many moons ago. It used SQL Server 2000 Desktop
Edition on the client, which used SQL native replication to a server. Lots
of headaches IIRC especially for schema changes. If you want to go this
route, start small, maybe two or three clients and use it for a while. Also,
I would suggest to use a database's native replication techniques and not
reinvent the wheel.
Hope that helps.

Just joined the user group today. I have been a CF developer since 2000.
I need to find out if anyone had built or knows how to build an
online/offline application. Something like a thin client that the user
installs. When working offline the data is saved locally and then synced
when the user is online again.
Thanks! -Max
