| If you are using Delphi you can use the tclientdataset which has a
Briefcase type system built in.
Or you can use one of the many middleware systems that are available for
Delphi, all of which will do what you want.
www.remobjects.com
www.astatech.com
etc etc
Most of them work by creating a XML local dataset then applying that XML
dataset when the client logs back in, it handles the conflict resolution
etc.
Delphi really is one of THE best ways to develop database apps.
