When folders are shared across a network it is possible for a client to gain access to these folders and any executables within. If these executables are for example installation files and you run them, they install on your client machine and not on the server.

The OS is MS Server.. either 2000 or NT4.
The executable is made using Boralnd C++ 4.51.
Is it important to specify what type of protocol the LAN uses?? I haven't an idea really but could find out... i'm basically a novice at this (networks) so don't have the first idea where to start.

Does anyone know how i might do the following:
I plan to have an executable file resident on a server.
I want to be able to execute this program from a client work-station.
It will perform actions on the server and not on the client (machine that calls the program).

Can you help.?
Once again any info would be appreciated
