You may have to configure firewalls at both the client and server. <br /> You could also take a look at this <a href="http://devzone.advantagedatabase.com/dz/content.aspx?Key=42&ID=48" rel="nofollow">Tech-Tip</a> about connecting to Advantage over a WAN.

Thanks for the kind words. You bring up...Maayan,<br /><br /> Thanks for the kind words. You bring up some good points that I will address in more detail in a future post.<br /><br /> Here are some quick answers:<br />1. Put a properly configured dictionary in the same directory with the tables. You can connect to this dictionary with an AIS connection and still access the free tables.<br /><br />2. Over a VPN connection I would recommend using a Remote connection. You don't need the additional encryption provided by an AIS connection. You may get a performance boost by turning on compression though.<br /><br />3. For best performance the application needs to be designed for a slow connection. This means transfering only the records you need for the application. I would recommend that you download the sample AIS application from Code Central on the Advantage Developer Zone.Chris Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097498077009855123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658257106003248170.post-47101393065506001972009-05-28T08:11:55.807-06:002009-05-28T08:11:55.807-06:00Another great post.

Our app uses free tables only, how would you recommend using AIS to access all these tables?<br /><br />2. On a VPN connection - would you recommend setting up AIS or simply using standard ADS connections? and why.<br /><br />3. I guess latency is the major cause for bad performance - do you have any tips on this?<br /><br />Thanks.Maayannoreply@blogger.com
