I have developed a software application for Windows NT operating systems, you know ME, XP, Vista, 2000, etc
A client has asked "Will the product run over a terminal server session as I have an office in Someplace which currently access the Access database this way or are there other alternatives?"
Now, I unfortunately don't know anything about terminal server sessions - and for once Wikipedia isn't much help in explaining.
This is what the application requires to run:
It's a Win32 application, it installs the BDE database engine (works with ODBC drivers etc) and of course the application.
The user runs the application in Windows, and the database is stored either locally, or on a network path.
Examples of a network path include:
Z:\DB
\\EXAMPLE\DB
The BDE requires that this path be "exactly spelt the same" for each PC to access the data.
So if one PC uses "Z:\DB" then all other PCs accessing the database through the BDE will also need to use "Z:\DB".
