Stand Alone Application vs Client/Server

["M.D.Mufambisi" <mufambisi () gmail com>]

Hi folks,

What in your opinion is more secure....an application sitting on the
same computer as its datafiles/database or one that has the
datafiles/or database on a server and the application on a separate
machine?

Im just reviewing a client who as an application that sits on the same
computer as its datafiles. This computer is in a windows domain.
Wouldnt it be better if the datafile were on the server and have
access permissions set there?
