mine and configure the Remote Data Access configuration option for your
system so that the workstation application and the batch portable applica-
tion are able to synchronize data. IntelliTrack applications support four
basic RDA configurations.
The required components for Remote Data Access (RDA) can be installed
on your system in various configurations: installing all components on a
single computer, distributing the components between two computers, or
distributing the components on three or more computers. Depending on the
configuration option that you use, IIS, ActiveSync or Windows Mobile
Device Center Software, and SQL Express or SQL Server will operate on
your local PC or on a remote PC (server). When setting up Remote Data
Access, you will come across various terms. These terms, as they relate to
