Have you ever consider a three tier approach. You may use a middle tier
server between your client and the server. Take a look to the midas
technology(DataSnap) included in Delphi. I works like a charm even in slow
connections.

i use delphi 7 and FB 2.X i have been creating client to server
projects on the internet(ADSL) i tested connection speed on the
internet it was like hell and i decided about VPN(virtual private
network.it means like you are working on local area).its not bad
like normal connection.and if you wantto work soo good your project i
think you must create it with only SQL codes.

Thanks.
