Hi... we have a Win2k Terminal Server running Firebird1.5 which hosts
all our customer and service records, etc. I've downloaded an open
source odbc driver, and I think I should be able to plug into the
database via MS Access or Excel or whatever I may have to use. I've
tried this on my test bench and it works. My problem is that I can't
set up any further apps on the Terminal Server, due to company policy.

Now, I've tried to install the ODBC driver on my workstation. It won't
install, because I don't have Firebird installed on my workstation.
Considering that I'm running too much stuff on my laptop, I'd prefer
not to install Firebird on it.

Is there a way to plug myself into the ODBC driver over the network?
What I mean is, have the ODBC driver running on the server, and
plugging a client into the datasource from a workstation? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
