Hello, all,

Is it possible to locally store dataset or recordset information from a
database over the net to a client machine, AND while offline, make changes to
the dataset?  What about using the edited information to make changes to the DB
when the client machine is online?

The idea is to create distributable Projector files that can act as agents for
a web application, but I can't assume a constant internet connection among
clients.  Moreover, I can assume a greater lack of constant connectivity.

It might sound like an unstable way to manage data, but since the clients will
only be dealing with data pertinent to themselves, it's alright.

Thanks everyone,
Marc
