Eric,
The development with VB isn't the same with VC++ ?!

See this case:
We have the "Registration Application" developed using VC++ and ESQL/C having Informix database engine running on Unix box Sun Solaris.

the application installed on the NT server "and befor it was on Novell Ver3.x", the development teem didnot use any COM or DCOM components !!.

In the workstations side usualy what I do to install the application:
1. I create a shortcutkey from the NT Server "which having the .EXE & .DLL files"
2. Copy the related .INI file to the workstation win9x directory
3. Install "I-net" software which comes with Informix db to make the access to the Informix database.

So, No Internet solution involved... Also no PURE n-tier development .. don't you agree with me?

Give me your Opinion Pls.


>>If I didn't install it on the server, so how the other user will access it, it is a multiuser system and everyone should access it via the network, what to you advice Eric.

>User access what? Database must be placed in a shared location but the application can/must be deployed to every user workstation (or else you need an Internet solution).

>You can have components (ActiveX DLL or EXE) that runs on a server that are accessed through DCOM or you can install MTS on your server and install your DLL components in it.

You should consider having courses on that subject (see http://www.microsoft.com/trainingandservices/syllabi/syllasearch.asp?PageURL=/TrainingAndServices/syllabi/content/1016Afinal.txt for a good course on that)
