Hi Tim,

This may be a stupid question, but I need to be sure about this. The
TEDBEngine component can be set to either client or server. If I set it to
client, then I do *not* have to set the ConfigPath property? I use a CS
setup, not a fileserver setup. I am kind of confused though by the the
strong warning stated with this property that "All applications accessing
the same databases must use the same configuration file. Failure to do so
will result in locking errors." I still believe I do not have to set this
ConfigPath property when TEDBEngine is set to client in a CS setup, but this
strong warning got me wondering.

On the other hand, the LargeFileSupport property *does* need to be set to
the same setting as the server. Correct? Makes me wonder though, if I did
set the ConfigPath the application (client) should know the LargeFileSupport
setting of the server. Hope you can clarify this. Could you update the help
file so that it is more clear which of the TEDBEngine properties are related
to the client or server setting of the EngineType property as you did in the
DBISAM help file?

Thanks in advance.

Correct.

No, the LargeFileSupport setting only applies for local sessions, not remote
sessions.

I'll see what I can do.

I learn everday. Not that it could be of any harm if I did set this property
  Thanks for clearing this up.
