SUMMARY
If you have a 2-tier client/server application (for example, a Visual Basic desktop client application that connects to SQL Server), should you apply for the Client Logo, Server Logo, or both?



MORE INFORMATION
If the client workstation manipulates the data and requires little involvement from the server, other than SQL Server and some SQL stored procedures, then the application is considered to be a &quot;Desktop&quot; or Windows 2000 Professional application.

To qualify for the Server Logo, there needs to be a clear server-side aspect to the application; for example, an Active Server Page (ASP) that collects data from a Web-based form where data is sent from the client to be processed on the server.
