I thinks accessing directly through a component might be better. Please give your suggestion. Thanks, RRR. Ben,

I think your soltion is fine, from everything I’ve gleaned on the subject, for these reasons:

1) Using Web Services now for this type of communication will put you in a better position for moving to Indigo.

2) Transferring DataSets is *okay* (not great, but okay), if you can be sure you can control both ends. Behind the firewall, you most probably can.

Of course, it also lets you avoid the need for IIS :-) Personally, if the client is connecting to a DB on a LAN I’d tend to use remoting more than WebServices – config is easier and it lets you more rapidly switch between remote and local versions (handy for debugging).
