jan,
Don't know, I suspect not. Synology is Linux based so the Exe file would not run on the NAS. Having a Microsoft workstation access the Exe file and execute on the workstation would not seem to work either. Registry, linked files, etc. (Hope I understood and answered your question)
At most, I have four workstations accessing the Rbase data files on the NAS. The four workstations are not connected to a server, so each station has its own licensed copy of Rbase on it. The NAS eliminates the need for one workstation to share the data folders to the other three. Therefore anyone or all stations can be in use depending on need.
The NAS has other program databases as well. It is a simple and cost effective setup for us and eliminates the headaches of maintaining a Microsoft server.

Ditto, Steve Johnson's experience. The full Synology family of NAS boxes worth a look.

Karen,
I have two databases located on a Synology diskstation, which is Linux based. It is easy to set up a shared folder and has worked well for me. In this scenario, Rbase executables has to be on the workstations.

Thanks Mark (and Albert). Have you run RBase on the Linux? How is performance? He's suspecting overly-opportunistic locking on Windows server and is hoping for better performance on a Linux, but probably wouldn't try it unless someone tells me that they've done that and the performance is good

Not sure which question you are asking.
It is trivial to set up shares on a linux server to store the files and to store the executables using SAMBA on the server. You just set up a drive letter to the share, set permissions and you are set. I expect there are other solutions like SAMBA.
If you want to run the executables on a windows workstation attached to the linux server, you are set. Windows will just see the linux box as just another drive.
You can not run the executables in linux itself without an add on like Albert is using.

I am posting for a friend who is not active on this list.
Has anyone here run RBase X/XE on a Linux server? Specifically locating the database there, perhaps also the RBase executables. They are willing to pay someone for their time if setting up such an arrangement is possible. If you like, you may contact me off-list to discuss specifics.
Thanks!!! (PS: might not be on the list much Thursday, so be patient if I don't respond)
