At the risk of running this thread too far, do
you mean in a client/server sort of way service?
I have not gone that deep into developing the
apps that I do develope. I have mostly been writing
them on a _single user to single database_ way
without any background programs running other
than Interbase, on the server of course.
Could you give me any further basic ideas of how
you write your service routine.
(private e-mail if you think it will go too deep)
