The two methods of access give very similar facilities, and you can use both on the same server at the same time. It's best to use the web browser if the Open[nbsp]ERP server is some distance away (such as on another continent) because it's more tolerant of time delays between the two than the GTK client is. The web client is also easier to maintain, because it's generally already installed on users' computers.

Conversely you'd be better off with the application client (called the GTK client because of the technology it's built with) if you're using a local server (such as in the same building). In this case the GTK client will be more responsive, so more satisfying to use.

There is little functional difference between the two Open[nbsp]ERP clients - the web client and the GTK client at present (since early versions of 5.0). In earlier versions, the web client had fractionally greater functionality.

When you're changing the structure of your OpenERP installation (adding and removing modules, perhaps changing labels) you'll find the web client to be irritating because of its use of **caching**.

Caching speeds it all up by keeping a copy of data somewhere between the server and your client, which is usually good. But you may have made changes to your installation that you cannot immediately see in your browser. Many apparent faults are caused by this! The workaround is to use the GTK client during development and implementation where possible.

The Tiny company will continue to support two clients for the foreseeable future, so you can use whichever client you prefer.
