Our empty database files for filemaker are like 8mb, I have no clue >how big a database of over 1000 users would be. It's useable... although I personally would prefer an ethernet connection. The entire data files of course are not transmitted to the client, instead data is transmitted in a need-to-have fashion. So it will take a minute to initially open it up (to open the minimal files, etc.), but after that, it should be okay. I wouldn't start running data intensive tasks though (like reports or other things). But adding accounts, viewing them, searching for them, would be fine I think. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
