MSI Access provides client/server functionality for 4D now.
It comes with an API toolset that allows you to create Hypercard,
Pascal and C clients. You can even create a Windows client.

Wait for the 4D Server. It is much faster than MSI Access/4D client server.
It is also much easier to implement and support. 4D Server APIs will support
Hypercard and Windows-based clients.
