Coding an application of this nature would be too complex for a beginning VB programmer. The simplest way to connect to a SQL DB over a dial up connection is to setup Dial-Up Server on the host machine. Then you would setup a Dial-Up Connection on the client to connect to the host. You can then use query analyzer to retrieve and modify records, create and execute stored procedures. I have left out a few details due to my time being limited this morning but this gives you a basic idea.
