Hi Everybody,
I've seen alot of posts over the years about ADS (Advantage Database Server).
If I am correct, the ADS "Server" program allows you to have one computer (server) handle the database files / searches etc... This one is not free but the "local" server is ... so, what exactly does the "Local" server do?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff B

Jeff:
If you have Advantage Database Server installed the dbfs are managed in the server (client/server architecture) as you said.
If you use Advantage Local Server client/server architecture is not supported and the dbfs are managed as usual, the utility of using Local Server is only for programing the aplication without a server or the posibility to use advantage rdd without a server. Then, if you have a server you have to do almost no changes to the application.

The ADS local server has all the features of the remote server except: Internet data access, Client/server technology and Transaccions.
The local server supports up to 5 concurrent users and it was though for development propouses only, so you can to have all the features of the remote server, but installed in a single PC when you app need to move into the real Client/Server world, you don't have make any mod into the source code, simply install the remote server, and you app will become into a powerful client/server app, even letting you to have internet access to you dbfs.
