GUI-Files on client or on server?

Hi,

I've written a programm for a school. The application has 3 GUI-files and 8 data-files. The Installation is in FM7, server is standard edition, clients are FMPro. For now the clients only hold a startfile that points to the central login of the main GUI-file on the server. Everything else is left on the server. For the time being performance is acceptable. Updating the solution is done by the schools admin: stop the server, swap the GUI-files, start server, done, a minute-job...

Now I'm thinking about distributing the GUI-files to the clients machines to gain speed in the intranet and to limit some clients to simple data-input-capabilities by only giving them one of the GUI-files. Updating would be left to the clients or more work for the admin but that's OK.

Has anyone tested the different approaches (GUI on server vs. GUI on client) and can share experiences?

Holger
