I have developed an application on VB5. It is currently running on a single PC. Please could someone give me some tips on how to convert it to a network application.

Any help will be appreciable.

Samba.

What database (if any) are you using? What is the role of the app etc. How big is the network you want to roll onto? Email me at bwghughes@hotmail.com, as I check this regularly.

I'm working on Project with Access DB sitting on one of computers in peer-to-peer Windows 95 network (we call it server). All other machines (workstations) have mapped drives (C: drive of the "server"). All DatabaseName properties of all DC and Database Objects refere to the database on the mapped drive. In design I can use local copy of that database to avoid any damadges. Using "If it's design time use local copy, otherwise use "server" copy of the database" approach I can solve your or similar to your problem.
