OK, it seems I'm having a bit of a blonde moment. Let's say you decided to install a .NET application on a server and wanted clients to be able to use it via a network share. Would the clients need the .NET framework to be installed, or would the server handle all of that? My instinct is telling me only the server would need that, but somehow I get the feeling that deployment wouldn't be as easy as that. I know, I know, stupid question, but could anyone give me a definitive answer? Thanks in advance. [smile]

From my experience, the clients will need the .NET framework. Also, you have to mark the assembly as 'trusted' because .NET won't run apps from network shares by default (I found this out the hard way).

Right, cool, thanks man. Didn't think it was as simple as that! Cheers, that helps a lot. [smile]

as a side note, if you wish to perform remote debugging on the app from your development workstation, you'll have to include the Remote Components on the server as well (but not the IDE).

i learned this the hard way too...
