C/S and T/S using same DB simultaneously

I have a VB6 application that runs in both a client server or a terminal
services environment. Normally a customer uses one or the other. Is it
possible for a customer to install and run both of these at the same time
meaning they have the C/S connected to some users and the T/S connecting
other users but they both access one SQL server database? I had not
considered this situation before.

BruceLBruce,
I don't know why not. Whether the client code runs C/S or T/S is moot to
the SQL Server, since it knows very little about the client. It talks via
the communication protocols and grants rights to 'you', whoever you are.
The main issue is probably: Who are you in each of these environments? Are
you in the same security context, or not? But, however you are managing
access to the SQL Server will control who can log in and what rights are
granted.
