Client Access

Hi Experts,
I have an custom-built client/server application which
uses SQL Server 2000 as its database server. I'm using
OLEDB as the data access mechanism to access the database.
Instead of installing SQL Server clients on my application
client PCs, is there a way to enable my application
clients to access SQL Server DB?
Anything like installing MDAC / DLL alone?
TIA,
HariHi
MDAC will give you everything you need to connect to your server and on most
windows PCs it should already be installed, you just need to make sure it is
version supported by your application.
