- Does the server function in a client/server mode? I've been poking
- around with MSI Access (minor pokes to date), but the promise of a
- client/server database system seems to address many of the 4D performance
- problems. I have been working on the design of a 5 - 10 user system and
- am concerned that using 4D multi-user might not offer sufficient
- performance. The question now is whether to develop it as an MSI app or
- to go with the 4D server. Of course I just got my hands on Serius with
- the database object library...
