Install executable on server and access from clients

[Gandalf77]

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

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.
