I thought someone had told me that DirXML supports synching with MS Access?

Thanks,

Hello John,

You can syncronize with MS Access using SnapShot Connector (3:rd part driver). It uses a snapshot technology instead of monitoring triggers and supports both ODBC and LDAP databases. More information can be found at www.pulsen.com/xml.

Is that a driver that supports DirXML or is it independent of XirXML.

Hello,

It is a DirXML driver. All logics, schema mapping and rule management is done with DirXML.

Best regards,
Tobias L.

OK, I've downloaded a demo and I'm having them send me pricing info.
Looks like this server will not work with a NetWare for the connector. I
will have to run the server side on a Windows Server/Workstation? My
Database for MS Access resides on the NetWare server so will I have to
have a workstation logged into the NetWare server all the time to get
this to work?

Thanks,

that's not surprising, since there is NO WAY to run MS Access databases (or,
more accurately, the JET engine) on non-Windows platforms.

Yep, that's what you'll need to do. You could use CIFS on the NetWare server
if installing a NW client on the Windows server is not an option for you.

No problem we are a complete Novell Shop. Very few Windows Servers. None
for File and Print. I just didn't want to leave a Windows Workstation
logged in all the time. Maybe I can get a service to log into the
NetWare server via CIFS. Well we will try it out. Sounds like this is
what we are looking for.

Cheers,

I understand the hesitation, but we do it all the time. Just create a
special user account with ONLY rights to the directory the MDB sits in. The
worse case with this setup is that the MDB could get deleted, which is no
different than if it were local on the windows box itself. I've got machines
that do similar things that stay logged in for months at a time. It's no big
deal ;-)

A Windows machine that stays up for months at a time without a restart!
Wow!:-)

Heheheh.. strange, but true ;-) They can be remarkably stable when only
allowed to do one task!
