    Red face database problem

    I have developed an application in vb and back-end as access.
    there is a novel server on which we have a database.

    Now a problem is that a computer which is not in LAN can not access the software.

    I want a way by which i can access to my database/software from anywhere on any computer which may not be in LAN.

    Or can i place my database on internet ? and can i access it in vb ?

    That is not a problem, the is way networks are designed. If the computer needs access, it has to go on the network.

    Then it needs to be added to your network.

    Yes, and yes, but I would not recommend using VB. VB is a desktop language primarily. If your database is going on the internet, then write a new front end for it in a web language.

    You can easily point your VB app to an access database using an ipaddress. When you build your connection string, just use the ip address as follows:

    conString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="//10.1.1.1/Database.mdb"

    You should be able to use the domain name as well. There's no need to create a web app to do this. Even so, VB is great for ASP.net development.

    Did you change Database.mdb to the name of your database?

    Re: database problem

    And the IP address to the IP address of a computer on your LAN or the IP address of a computer accessible using a public IP?
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
