Hi all,
I am looking to do a little brainstorming. I am beginning to
switch my mrogram over from a client/server architecture to a
multi-tiered architecture. Since this is pretty much a shrink-wrapped
progam, I do not know what technologies a company has at their
location nor the level of IT staff to implement and maintain the
program. Some of the companies that will be working with this program
are large with lots of technical resources to pull from, while others
are small where a person is elected to be the "IT person" because they
have Windows 98 at home. These small companies don't know what a web
server, MTS or message queuing are and may even be working on my
program on a stand-alone computer. Additionally, the program is often
running on a laptop taht is not connected to the internet but wich
comes back to the office and uploads the data. My current plan is to
use TCP/IP via the winsock control, passing ADO recordsets by
converting them as XML strings and then converting them back. Does
anyone else have any suggestions, advice or better ideas?
Thanks,
David Hodgkins
