Re: Force users to use Active DG for reporting

Im afraid the main problem we have is how to prevent them from using RW for all work. They use MS Access odbc (ye...i know) to connect to the databases, so they just connect to the RW and run their updates and reports for it. Without using a web/app-tier (as they should and we are trying to force) its difficult that service or load balancing help us on that. Anyway thanks again for all the ideas.
