sounds fine to me. i have an app that behaves pretty much in the way you
describe. one master version of the database at head office with 20 lan

database via the internet using encyption/compression middleware, or dial-up
connections to synchronize their local copies of the database. The delphi
app performs the bi-directional sync operation, and i use a lot of GUID's
for the indeces to ensure uniqueness of data from the different local
databases. a single wise installation script offers the choice of lan client
or remote worker.
good luck
