Access97 runtime on Terminal Server

[Wayne Gillespie]

I have an app currently in service which runs using the Access97
runtime. Each user has the runtimes installed on their local PC and
the db links to common datafiles on the server.

I have now been asked to expand this to allow use of the db by users
off site via Terminal Server.

Is it possible to install the Access 97 runtime on Terminal Server?

I know it is possible to install A2K runtimes using a Transform file,
but I can't find any info on the A97 runtime.

Has anybody tried this?

I haven't tried it, but I've tried enough similar things to know what will
probably work. Just create a runtime install package for your app or a dummy
app, and install it on the Terminal Server using the Add/Remove Programs
applet on the Control Panel (not by running the package installer directly).

If that doesn't work, I know someone who has done it that I could ask.

Thanks Steve, I will be doing some testing on site tomorrow so I will
give it a go.
