I am having problems installing another MSDE program and wanted to make sure
I have MSDE Properly setup for RMS.

What is the proper setting for MSDE on each client. Should I setup MSDE as
"Server" or 'DTC" or "Agent"?

And should each client point to Itself or to the Main Server where the RMS
Database Resides?

And if I install a MSDE Program Database on my computer not on the Main
Server would that interfere with RMS or the proper operation of the new
program?

And if one of the clients is acting as a "Server" for the new programs
database, will that cause problems with RMS or MSDE

You only need to install MSDE on the mahcines that require access to a local
database - such as when a TILL operates is standalone mode when the main
server is unavailable.
