Hi Rocky and Jim

If the Linux system is just a file host/share, all you need a SMB share on the Linux box, usually via Samba which these days is pretty much standard. That’s how all the NAS boxes Work.

Emne: Re: [AccessD] Back End On Linux

2 Simple questions may solve that -
What application facility would you be running on the back-end system to manage
the data going in to and being extracted from the .mdb or .accbd file
Can that run on the Linux platform to service the links in from the front end
systems.

I suppose there are a 3 & 4, and even 5 -
What will that cost compared with doing the action on a windows OS - even if
that is a version of the OS that will run under a Linux environment
How much effort will that take to setup, licence, run, and to maintain
What's your pay rate for the hours needed

Dear List:

Can an mdb or accdb back end run on a Linux platform with the front end on a
Windows box?


TIA
