How can I connect to ADS via the Internet?
I tried to use DacSession() and the ADS communications DLL AXCWS32.DLL 
but all to no avail.
I've set up a user on ADS and the server for Internet access with a 
port.  The port is forwarded on my Firewall to the ADS server and it is 
accessible from outside.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

Not to worry, I got it going by using the ADS DLL's that comes with the 
specific version of ADS i.e. ace32.dll, adsloc32.dll, aicu32.dll and 
axcws32.dll. In this case in was ADS V12 and as soon as I replaced the 
DLL's it connected with DacSession() via Internet without a problem.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Looks like I was too quick to think my problem was solved.
Although I can connect remotely to ADS via ARC and even the xBase 
Dacsession(), it is still a problem to open a table with USE or DbUseArea().

I noticed in previous threads of this NG that there was a problem with 
v11.1 upwards of ace32.dll to connect remotely.
Does anybody know if this problem was ever solved and if not, how can I 
otherwise connect remotely to ADS V11.1 or V12 and open tables?

I can connect and open tables with ARC remotely, so it all points to 
something in xBase as the problem.
Could it perhaps be ADSDBE?
I am using xBase V1.9 with adsdbe V1.90.

Regards,
Ben

Now I am getting one step closer.
I replaced ADSDBE with the latest hotfix release and now I can open a 
table BUT it is very slow with ADS V12. Still need to test it with ADS 
V11.1 to see how it goes.
