In this case the WebCat solution you mentioned does not eliminate the sync problem, you have to sync foxbase and webcat anyway. If you want to be up to date at any time then the inhouse database should write new or changed records as textfiles to disk and WebCat adds them to the existing ones every few minutes or so. But - don't forget the deleted records - you will have to work out an update system with special syntax, based on the actions to perform, together with the other programmer (hopefully he is a nice guy...) >3. Can a WebCat-based solution handle the speed needs of approx. 40 >full-time users (25 in-house, 15 or so on-line)?What means fulltime? Can you explain this in terms like number of queries or hits per minute? I do not fear so much for WebCat, it runs still beside a webserver, so the speed is limited and if you optimize performance (even with duplicated data etc.) than it should run. But the 25 in-house users might bring the machine itself into troubles, if they are very active on a 10baseT or 100baseT network they can easily lock the server up. Get a fast machine!
