Hi Nick,
Well there is no reason why you cannot deploy WO to their laptops and
use a lightweight database like FrontBase or Sybase Adaptive Server
Anywhere. You are essentially running a 3 tier application on their
laptops.
Synchronization could be done at the database level. Sybase is very
good for this.
If you are running on MacOS X in the field, there is always the
Cocoa/EO option to try.
Performance of a WO server and small database on any modern laptop is
not an issue. I am not sure what the licensing implications would be.
Depending upon the complexity of the App, you could go with a simple
DirectToJava app or a JavaClient app. Even a standard DirectToWeb or
WO app in a browser would work.

Hi all
I am still quite fresh with WO so I don't need, and I am still not
able, to get into details.
Let's suppose a typical context: a very classical
contact-order-inventory application running in C/S with WO.
Salespersons need to visit their clients, create new contacts,
calculate estimates and edit orders. Therefore they need to have a
replica of the C/S application on their laptop.
* It's impossible to do a stand-alone clone application with WO, is it?
* OTOH DBMS like FrontBase can run stand-alone, right?
* The only really workable solution would probably be a remote
connection, wouldn't it?
* Is there another dev tool that could use the same code to create a
stand-alone clone?
With 4th Dimension the same code can be used for stand-alone and C/S
deployment. Yet I think it's probably the only edge it over WO ;-)
TIA
Nick
