Hi,
I have a VB 6 program installed on a Remote Server out of the Office in a
different location, I would like to know if it is possible to run the VB EXE
on my desktop(Local PC) with out installing the VB program on the local
computer.

if NO, then if I connect Remotely to the Server will I be able to do the
above.

Other wise what do I need to do to achieve this task.

Thanks
Dib

A compiled standard exe?

That depends on which libraries you're referencing in your app and if
they're installed on the client machine.

If you connect via VPN, Citrix, PC Anywhere, or another such remote desktop
application and the app normally runs on the server, then yes. As long as
the user permissions are correct.

Use the VB package and deploy wizard. It's not the best piece of software
in the world, but it generally gets the job done.
