Hi,

Me and four other Higher Informatics students have to do a project.

The assignment is designing and implementing a helpdesk system, and we
are planning to do this in Borland Builder 3 Client/Server.

The basic idea is thus a database system.

In our talks with the end-users (our teachers play a very convincing
role ;) !) it became obvious that the application has to run on multiple
computers (4 or so) so it has to be multi-tiered. 

Now, reading the book Borland C++ Builder Unleashed first edition, i saw
that this client/server approach needed a full blown InterBase server or
something similar.

Being students and all, we obviously don`t have the cash to purchase
such a system.

My question: can anyone explain to me (us) the best solution for
implementing this scheme. If we could do this running normal Paradox or
Access tables would be indeed a super solution. 

If you need further information i would be happy to provide this,

Hope you can help
