Alejandro,

As a rule of thumb "OLEDB components offer much better performance than ODBC".

You have used the word "terminal" here, is this "client"?

I thought you could avoid configuring clients if you let the server do the actual reporting as well?

Just a thought.

In the process I need to indicate the destination of the data as either an ODBC or OLEDB "source", though it will actually be receving data rather than providing it. I believe this would point to a DBC, though I am not sure if that is correct or how to go about it.
