Hi Alan,
I wish you could be a little more specific so that we can learn from your facts and figures.
What I can say for sure, as it's real life, current experience, that a biological analysis company, client of FoxInCloud, manages ALL its operations, end to end from order entry to accounting, including capturing measures from its bio analysis devices, through a web app running on a remote server (only desktops and internet connection in the premises); 100k patients, 250k 'orders' (MD ordonnances), 2M 'order lines' (unit examination), 70 forms, 50 reports, 300 users
Why? To get rid of the installation / maintenance / versioning hassles, and set up news labs quicker (developing country).
Grids and data are the only limiting factor we've seen so far, that requires some workaround: - more than 3 grids on the same form: move to subforms - more than 1000 lines in a grid: use the grid pager supplied with FoxInCloud. - light views that take more than .2 sec. to requery: use a cursor instead; if view is updateable, use getfldstate and update back end yourself
Especially when updateable, grids almost count for as many controls as the number of cells in it: takes some server time to manage the state.
