[Atheist]

How far have you gotten? Have you created a connection between the server and the client?

this is the actual prb which i dont knw ! connecting from my client side to my server side. all i want to achieve is say for example i have a method on server SaveClientFeedback(strClient,strMsg) which stores the client name n message in database. how would i make my client access this method on the server thru internet !

access is client side, not server side. so you would have to use something like MySQL, Oracle, DB2, MS SQL, PostgreSQL as a backend to be able to do this.

You'll need a MySQL server and PHP.

You'll then need to create a PHP script which takes form data and saves it a database.
Your VB app will then have to submit the data in a POST request. I have done all this before so it's perfectly achievable.

you dont need to use php to save information to a database, VB can do this.

First of all setting up a PHP n MySQL server is not gonna be da optimum solution, coz i got SQL Server 2000 and ASP running on ma server, so will be possible to achieve da same with this combination.
Secondly, BrailleSchool if u think it can be done widout these script then pls show me some help
