Desktop SQL Server

I am based in Atlanta and our server is in Orlando. I recently wrote an
Access application that runs very well; however, the runtime is poor when the
application has to access the server. I would like to try the Desktop SQL
Server but, according to my reading on this, the Microsoft Jet Engine is
uninstalled when the SQL Server is installed. Does this mean that everyone
who runs an application that uses the SQL Server will have to uninstall Jet?
If so, how do they run other Access applications that still use Jet?
 
The information about the uninstallation of JET when the Desktop SQL is
installed is false; you must have misread something.
 
Sylvain,
I double - checked the book and the author states that the Jet is
uninstalled when the SQL server is installed. Keep in mind that the author
also states that a report can be generated using an Array and I found through
another MVP that this statement is also false.

I'll take your word over that author's. In fact, I'll trash that book. The
last thing I need is inaccurate information during my transition from DAO to
ADO. If you know of a better reference would you please provide this
information to me?

With Much Gratitude for Your Time and Assistance,

Pete
 
Without having the full reference or citation, it's hard to know if the
author is really in error or if he's talking about something else.

It's also hard to provide you with a better reference because you didn't
tell us what you are looking for.

You also need to keep DAO if you are using ODBC linked tables to access your
SQL-Server.
