Client/Server Question

I have a client/server application where the path to the 'live'
data is maintained by the server but from time to time the user
also needs access to archived data. In practice, this could
mean that I have one user working with the live data and at the
same time, other users are working with data from different
months and/or years.

What I did was I coded the client so that it could browse for
the archived data but only after it was disconnected from the
server and I disallowed making changes to the data.

My question is: What would you have done?

Any other comments are welcome as well.
