Network communication

As you can tell I know very little on how networks communicate. I read up on client and server sockets and I understand how they connect. My question is when I have my software loaded on a server and a user working on a remote work station wants to run my software and have it appear on his remote screen what is the sequence of events. First he opens a connection to the server. Then I suppose some how he executes my software. How does my software appear on his remote screen? Do I have to write event handlers when he connects? My software accesses several different Paradox databases. I use aliases. Does the connection to these databases happen automatically or again do I have to write event handlers to do this?

G'day,

I think you're describing some sort of thin client application solution.

Correct me here;
You have an Application which feeds data off a database. You want to give access to this application by your users?
Is your application a desktop application?
What is your application build on?


Cheers,

Arthur

The application is a desktop application. I want to give the users the ability to control the application from their remote work stations. The application was built using BCB4. It uses Paradox databases.

Thanks
