That is what I meant. Since what admin does is completely arbitrary
(although they may have their own rules) there is no way for the
program to know what they do, or will do.

Teminal server is .... well, I am not quite sure how to describe it.
It took me a while to figure out that every client has two C: drives,
its local drive and then another one when logged onto the server.
You see two C: drives with different content.

I am using Firebird and while it is possible to use a connection
string of c:\database on the local drive it does not work once you
are working on the servers drive, even if that drive letter is C: Grrrr!
Connection using TCP/IP protocol is the only way to get it work.
Terminal server seems to be full of tricks. IOW, expect all kind
of problem which can only be solved once you have installed
the program on the terminal server system.
