Help (VB Database on Linux)

[Andrew Bartlett]

Samba provides windows machines with file, print and authentication
services only, it cannot make your visual basic program run on linux.  
You can however run your visual basic program on a local computer, with
the database (and program) stored on a network drive (provided by
samba). 
Or you can install PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org) to run the database
on the server, using ODBC to access it from your visual basic program. 
(This is completely unrelated to samba).  
To run windows programs on linux see wine (www.winehq.com), again this
is unrelated to samba.
