Re: Network Programming In VB
use the package & deployment wizard to create a setup program that will install all the necessary file on any PC. It comes with VB6.

Don't forget to edit the one in the quote too ;)
You'll need the DBMS to act as a server to be able to connect to it over a network. Access is really bad at this, as soon as you have more than one concurrent connection it often struggles and crashes :(.
If you want to do this then you should use Microsoft SQL server or MySql server or Oracle. These DBMS' are built to handle many concurrent connections from other PC's.
Should you still want to use access then have a look at these:
