Change Your c-treeVCL c-tree Library to Client-Server

Borland's Visual Component Library (VCL components) led the way in programmer productivity with superb drag and drop convenience within the integrated development design editor. FairCom has supported this concept with c-treeVCL components for rapid database development using c-tree in the Borland environment.

The c-treeVCL Components are installed with a simple installer. When a user installs c-treeVCL, they are asked "in which model they want to develop", and are offered 2 choices, standalone or client/server. By default, they are given immediate access to a c-tree Server via the client option.

Many programmers begin with simple standalone applications. Frequently, these successful applications grow to multi-user enterprise applications requiring the full power of the c-tree Server. It is easy to switch the c-tree library required by the c-treeVCL components to make this change!

One simple way is to just quickly re-install the c-treeVCL components, selecting the appropriate option. This will have no other impact upon your installation. However, it is also a simple matter to edit the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FairCom\c-treeVCL\DllName

Simply reference ctclient.dll to use c-tree client/server mode or ctreestd.dll to use c-tree standalone mode. You can immediately begin using the c-treeVCL components with this referenced model.
