I have a VDB 7 application deployed on an NT Server. I've never been sure of what has to be put on each workstation to access this application. Can the application reside on the Workstation and always access the files on the server? If so, does the application .ini file control the pointers? Is there an explaination available from one of the white papers? Also, I would like to be able to use PCAnyWhere (or equivelent) access to run the application remotely. Any suggestions?

With the BDEAMIN.EXE you create a database alias for example MYDATA which points to a specific directory. In your program you use this database alias with the database object. The network supervisor can then change the directory/server without that any code in your application needs to be changed. The dUFLP library also contains code to check,create and delete such database aliases programmatically. Ask if you need an example. PS We are all moving to the new server at news.dbase2000.com, these newsgroups will be closed in a couple of days. -- Romain Strieff [dBVIPS]

I've done as suggested and put the apps on the server. putting the apps on the server makes deployment simpler and somewhat riskier. But if you're hitting remote tables, put the apps on the workstation Bill Kenyon wrote: > I have a VDB 7 application deployed on an NT Server.
