I'm sorry ... I was distracted away from the computer today. I would have given you the full implementation. If your trial works out, I will post the code that allows you to set the configuration to use CDX or ADS. Also, remember to include the proper RDD libraries in your build. If you have any pro...

Michel,

Here you have it:

https://github.com/harbour/core/blob/master/contrib/rddads/ads.ch

Antonio,

Can you tell me where I can find ads.ch?
Or can you send it to me?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Antonio.
First thing in the morning is testing.

Keep sound and safe.

Michel, This is a very basic ads.prg example that is included with mod_harbour: #include "ads.ch"function Main()   RddRegister( "ADS", 1 )   AdsSetServerType( 1 ) // ADS_LOCAL_SERVER   RDDSetDefault( "ADS" )   USE clients VIA "ADS&qu...

Otto,

Thanks a lot for the tip.
Didn't know that.

Michel,
you can install WINDOWS SERVER 2019 on a WINDOWS 10 as a virtual machine.
The download version works for 120 days without licenses.
Best regards
Otto

Otto,

I know what you mean. I have customers working that way, using RDP.

But in this case, there is no server available to which several users can connect together using RDP.

Michel, Tim speaks of something else. I suggested RDP to you - we have running hundreds of systems with WINHOTEL. The databases and programs are installed on the SERVER. No data is sent over the network. Only the screen contents. If you want, you can install and test a demo of your software on one o...

Tim,

I just installed the evaluation version of ADS 12.0.

I use this code to select RDDCDX

Code: Select all  Expand view

REQUEST DBFCDX
RDDSETDEFAULT("DBFCDX")

To what do I have to change my code?

But how about converting the existing files?
Thanks.

Tim,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
I start trying it out immediately.

When you use DBF, your application must transfer a lot of data to the workstation. Multiple VPN's will surely slow this down. Remember, in this mode you are using Microsoft Windows Peer To Peer networking which is not robust.j If you have Advantage Database Server ( not the LOCAL version, but licens...

Why SQL - no advantages. Use a dedicated RDP server and the file system.
No layers in between. Why complicating if there are no advantages.

Then you can install Windows Server on it, with enough CALs, so the customers can log in with RDP. Then you don't have to change anything in the program.

The best way of course is using SQL

Just a single Windows 10 PC.
