Steve,
With Oterro 3.0, I use the DSN as you described almost exclusively. (\\computername\sharename\directory\db.rb1)
Since drive letters are mapped at "login", that way the data source is available at bootup, even when the workstation or server is not logged in.
The latest builds of Oterro 3.0 have been working flawlessles for me and my clients, and have features and stability that are way beyond 2.1.

We have been using Oterro to connect to R:Base for a VB application for almost 10 years. We are still using Oterro 2.1. We use Citrix server to host the application. We are moving to a new set of servers. Because the new Citrix servers are set up like a Citrix farm, the DB has to be on a separate server. While I can map to the DB server from the server when I am logged in, we cannot seem to maintain that mapping when the applications are published.
Were have tried pointing to the db using its system name: \\systemname\directory\db.rb1. That does not work. Does anyone know a syntax that will work? Is it possible to do a DSN less connection using an IP or system name to point to the DB?
Does the Oterro 3.0 DSN support system references as specified above?
Can anyone suggest a way to get Citrix to support the mapped drive for published applications?
