GUI & Control Program. Correct use of shared variables?

Hi!

I have a test-program which consist of two parts, a GUI and a control program.

GUI, hosted on a network PC. The GUI is launched for 2-3 hours a day and is closed rest for the time.
The control program is hosted on the compact fieldpoint (cFP). It will run continous for 2-3 months.

The communiaction will be shared variables.

I'm rather confused on how these will work out..

1) Do i need the Shared Variable Engine on both the PC and on the cFP? And how do I set up the Shared Variable engine on the cFP?
2) Should I declare shared variables in the GUI and bind them to the source variable on the cFP?
3) Will there be errors when i close the GUI?

Could anyone clear this up.. ?
