You can use COM, but this becomes much more cumbersome and not as efficient. Unfortunately Enterprise Server is too much and too expensive for this situation. We hope to eventually have dozens of installations each with its data but only one to three users. If later that is extended to providing centralized data for many clients, it would be another story. How would the COM approach work? Thanks, Alex

If you are going to have the need for clients to talk to a remote database, then you will have to use some type of remote approach such as Remoting, Serialization, Sockets, VPN....something before you even get to the COM class. At that point creating the COM is the simple part. You just have to create a class library that is COM Visible and expose the logic that will be used to talk to the databases via business objects.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Alex
