Share connection into multiple EXE files

[indrahig]

Hi,
I'm building ADO base database application using multiple EXE file, one for each module. For each Exe file, it has its own ADO connection. So, if I run 3 modules then it has to be 3 connection to the database server. If possible, is there any way just to use one connection for all the modules in separate Exe files? I'm thinking about passing the connection component into other Exe files. Is that possible?

any suggestion will be much appreciated..

thanks,
Indra

Hi Indra,

you can use the TRDSConnection from the ADO tab. this way you can build multi-tier applications. look in the delphi helpfile for more information.

Well, so it is possible. Many thanks to whosrdaddy.
I'll check it out in Delphi Help and other resources.
Have a lot to learn.
Maybe you can give me a simple example on using that TRDSConnection.
Thanks anyway..

Indra,

you'll find demos under the delphi directory (look in Demos\Ado\Rds). there you'll find a server app and a client app.

Cheers
