Description
|
Remote Desktop Manager saves the settings in a Microsoft Access database located on the local machine or on a network share.
Microsoft Access is a pseudo relational database management system from Microsoft, which combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software development tools. |
|
This data source is not recommended since Microsoft has stopped providing support in the newest Windows version. |
|
Entering a database password when creating the physical file has no effect. You must use Microsoft Access to set the password in the database file. |
Highlights
•This data source supports the native Access database password (note that the password must be set using Microsoft Access directly - Remote Desktop Manager does not allow you to set or change the database, because it requires an exclusive connection to it
•The Offline Mode is supported by this data source
•The database can be shared by multiple users on a network drive, but the performance and the data integrity can't be guaranteed
•The Online Backup Service is available for this data source
