Thanks Remy, but I was hoping to avoid writing a client/server pair (I
should have mentioned this in my message, sorry).  The customer is already
using the basic application (what would become the "client" in a
client/server pair), and my customer wants to spend as little money as
possible to add this capability to the existing app, so I was looking for
the simplest option...perhaps what Hans suggests will work.
