All,
Bear with me as I know this is not an RDS question but I want to
understand
my options.
I have coded an RDS server application using the DCOM protocol which works
well in my environment. I used RDS because I wanted a 3-tier application
to
help me deal with the table locking restrictions of JET. I need to have
up
to 3 clients able to access the data at almost the same time. I used DCOM
because the server program is running under Win2K Pro so I thought hosting
a
server program under IIS was not an option. Was I correct in this?
Secondly, the ADO docs say RDS is deprecated and I should use the SOAP
toolkit (and probably by now .NET). I assume though that I would still
need
to be running a Win2K Server or Win Server 2003 to use either of these
options. Is this correct?
Do I have any other options?
Again, thank you.
John C.
