You will have no problems setting Legacy up in a Network enviroment and using it like a network application is suppose to be used. My family association has been doing this for years.
We have been trying to get it to work through the Internet, either through a P2P remote access or by hosting the database on the Internet for password protected access from anywhere. Has anyone tried this yet, or is anyone else trying this?
