This not exactly an Excel question, but perhaps someone may have the
answer I seek.

I have an Access 97 application. Using Access as the client, I use OLE
to access other Microsoft apps. For instance, an Access 97 form may
contain a customer list. By clicking on the customer's address,
Microsoft MapPoint opens with a map to that address.

However, I can only get this to work on a single computer (which
requires separate server apps on each computer, of course); not on the
LAN. I would like to put the server applications on the data server.

Does OLE work over a LAN?
