So if you want to go client server, go client server, go MSSQL. Don't go fro winsock and starting from scratch with all communication and protocol necessary. Want to go for a simple interface just pushing in DBF files to the tablets. Fine, that's a prorietary solution, but you won't be able to use remote views then, you have to program the update of server side tables with something else, too. You're aiming for a proprietary solution only working for you, then.
Thinking about it, a very good candidate for socket communication, would be the FoxPro interface, so and application like this is possible with VFP Winsock. The dll for the framework is not in the VFP distribution, and the VFP documentation is not very helpful for socket programming.
You need to have the dll files from VFP Documentation with the framework and stubs in the Form's resource file. (Take a look to the comdoc dll, but don't play with it. It's a file that opens communication to the COM server).
VS1 or earlier editions has a shared library manager in their distribution. This shared library manager is not installed with the VS1 or VS2 products, but can be downloaded from Microsof Website . d2c66b5586
