    MYSQL and VB.NEt

    I want to use this method

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4BNs0I5eUY

    but can you use this method to connect to an existing database and edit the values from any pc, so any end user can access the database?

    I'd probably switch to Windows SQL server rather than mysql if its a windows forms application, install it on their server and the client machines can connect to it. You just have to create a connection string setting.

    "I'd probably switch to Windows SQL server rather than mysql if its a windows forms application," - Why? MySQL is jsut as capable as SQL Server....

    "can you use this method to connect to an existing database and edit the values from any pc, so any end user can access the database?" -- I didn't watch the video, but in short, yes, as long as the server that's running mySQL is accessable from where ever the client is...
