Question:
I want to put the entire BDE DLLs and configuration files on our
LAN. Is this possible and is there an easy way to setup the
client machines? I don't know what the registry settings are
for the BDE.
Answer:
www.borland.com/devsupport/bde/files/bdenet.zip has a BDE
network installation example that allows a user to setup
the BDE and SQL Links on a client machine without having to
install the BDE and SQL Links to the client. Registry entries
are placed into the client machines so that the client can
access a network version of the BDE. Two programs are
included: one which helps configure the .INI file that is
necessary to create the registry entries, and another
program that shows how the methods work to create the
registry entries.
This is not officially supported by Borland. It was developed by Developer Support to help in BDE network installations.
