There have been many discussions on this before. Try using the search tool to find them. The MQSeries Application Programming Guide & Reference also describe the differences in great detail... _________________ Brandon Duncan

I'm guessing that you are coding in Java.
Basically, binding mode refers to having your application connect directly to the local queue manager (not possible for remote queue managers). Binding mode allows the application to get / put messages at a higher through-put rate (no channel overhead).
Where as client mode means that when you issue a connect, MQSeries will use TCP to connect to the queue manager (you MUST specify MQEnvironment.channel, MQEnvironment.hostname and MQEnvironment.port). This applies to whether the queue manager is local or remote.
