Hello everyone, So I'm doing my senior project in IT and I chose to do an internal examination system that doesn't need internet connection to work or at least that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

basically I tried working with vwd, but it requires connection to sql server which is not working on my machine for some unknown reason despite following each and every step to configure sql server properly still no use so this situation now rises a number of questions:

- first of all : must I use web applications and servers to create my distributed application or can it be done with the basic windows application?

- is it possible to use ms access as the database source instead of sql?

- finally : how to update data in a distributed application? should I like make an admin user who updates data of all the applications I mean can the modification be done without a server?

thank you in advance
