Hi there!

My friend made me a client database for my small business using VB and now I need to run this program on multiple computers. How do I go about this? Multiple users/computers but 1 database so that every revision is updated realtime?

I would like the sharing of program/database to work within the small office network (works without internet in case of signal probs) but I would also like to access it/update it also from home (internet).

TIA! - Maria

normally it is done by splitting the database so the data is stored on one computer or server and a "front end" is copied to each computer, which runs independently on each machine and writes the data to the main data "back end".
