A user creates forms in dBase5.7 and now uses a SQL2000
database on our network to access tables via dBase.
He has made an application that requires an ODBC DSN
(System DSN) to be created on the local machine and this
gets posted to a config file called BDE Configuration
(part of dBase) and this enables the application to work.
He is now thinking of rolling out this application to
users on the network - around 30 machines. Instead of
going round to each machine and adding a System DSN is
there an easy way to do this from one central source?
Furthermore, if you look at the footers for System DSN,
File DSN and User DSN, the File DSN is sharable but not
compatible with dBase's BDE Config.
So my question is: Is there a Utility to enable System
DSNs to be hardcoded into clients at the settings pre-
specified?
He was talking of Group Policy on the Domain Controller -
do you think this is the way to go about it?
Please help!
