: The Access concept is: get each and every row from sales and
: ass the numbers on the client machine.

you can use pass-through queries to enforce that the server is doing the work ...
i think ms-access works in a acceptable speed .... see technet-cd 05/95 or later Client-Server-Applications from concept to reality...
to develop ethernet friendly applications.... bye ralf
