Does the server function in a client/server mode?  I've been poking 
around with MSI Access (minor pokes to date), but the promise of a 
client/server database system seems to address many of the 4D performance 
problems.  I have been working on the design of a 5 - 10 user system and 
am concerned that using 4D multi-user might not offer sufficient 
performance.  The question now is whether to develop it as an MSI app or 
to go with the 4D server.  Of course I just got my hands on Serius with 
the database object library...
