    Install executable on server and access from clients

    Hi,

    I've been developing a VB program which is now running on 5 or 6 different pcs. Is it possible to install the program on a server and access it from the clients. Just want to be able to update one version rather than all the pcs everytime I make a change.

    Was considering a rewrite to ASP, but this might get me what I want.

    Many thanks

    yes It is possible to install on a server and make clients access it.But,I think even rewriting in asp would be easier than programming this stuff in vb.net But,making it in vb.net is good...but just a lil harder..

    umm...If your gooing to do it in asp.net,well,its easier as i said..
    If you want to do it in vb.net...heres a link to a sample of using vb.net program work over the internet
    http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/UnoLibsNet_V2.asp

    Thats the best sample code Ive found with more features,but,really screws up my head ..lol..Those ready made classes given there are easy to use though

    Just create a shared folder, give the users access to it, drop your exe into it and your done.
