jre

is it an absolute must for clients to have the jre installed to run win apps.
or can it be installed on a server w/ the class files and read from there?
i've tried it and it doesn't work. just trying to keep em happy, and reduce
installations.......

correction-- i meant it to say ODBC connections onthe actual client without
using applets or jsp files

Does your question says that you do not want a multi tired client server architecture
but have typical client/server architecture instead? Explain more what do
you want to do? That will help to answer your question

i want my DB applications accessed w/o a browser but connecting to a database
without having to go to each client to put an ODBC connection (sounds dumb)

If you don't want to use ODBC, then don't use it. (And this is a good
reason to not want to use it.) Just use a JDBC driver that doesn't require
ODBC.

Let me see if i have this correct. If I use the following URL, as well as
the following driver:
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
jdbc:odbc:students

I will not need to go to each machinge and do a manual "odbc connection?"
without having to use servlets/ or jsp. is it too good to be true?

No. If you don't want to use ODBC, use a different driver.

thank u so much..i am sluggish and i was under the impression that sun.odb.etc.
which is what i had been using was a pure java thing. thanks again! it is
all clear. on to my next adventure ...servlets!
