Edhy,
I agree on the maintaining part. Each installation is different. In my
case I went with mapping for the reason that I have been adding and
changing this program for over 7 years. Each time the users run this
program they find the need for an addition, modification, change the
spelling, add another field, add something to the report add another
report. If I did not load the application on the server I would have
to be installing this program almost weekly on 12 machines. The way it
is now I make the change at home, link into the server with gotomypc
and upload the program to the server and I am done.

Hi Cy,
You are right, but not in all scenarios, when having less than 10
users, the
..EXE size is not really big and the network is properly setup with
good
workstations, I see no performance hit on the server or the
application.
All my applications are installed on a network share folder (mapped)
and so
far have not received any complains. One project I was working long
time
ago with VFP6 I had to go with the loader because the .EXE was over
25MB and
it was really noticeable, but in must cases it will work just fine
from the
network share and it is easier to install and maintain.
