Question:
I want to put the entire BDE DLLs and configuration files on our
LAN.  Is this possible and is there an easy way to setup the
clinet machines?  I don't know what the registry settings are
for the BDE.

Answer:
www.borland.com/devsupport/bde/files/bdenet.zip has a BDE 
network installation example that allows a user to setup 
the BDE and SQL Links on a client machine without having to 
install the BDE and SQL Links to the client. Registry entries 
are placed into the client machines so that the client can 
access a network version of the BDE. Two programs are 
included: one which helps configure the .INI file that is 
necessary to create the registry entries, and another 
program that shows how the methods work to create the 
registry entries. 

This is not officially supported by Borland. It was developed 
by Developer Support to help in BDE network installations.
