Hi, I am trying to convert an ADM2 SmartObject client-server application to WebClient and need to determine how to revise those procedures which deal directly with other applications and files located on the server. For example, certain modules of the application will: load image files from a directory located on the server based on values found in the currently selected record; call external applications, which reside on the server, to perform some function and then return a result to the calling procedure; send a command to an external application to modify a file the user has identified within their local environment and place it in a predetermined folder on the server. Can tasks like these be done in a WebClient application, through the AppServer or would users need to continue to use mapped drives or UNC pathnames to do this sort of thing? If this can be done either through the AppServer or directly, is there any advantage to doing it one way over the other? Thanks, Paul v10.2b, Win 7
