A Networked Program

[mcgoo]

Does anyone know how to code a program to be used over a network.

Such as: Data is entered into a computer up front by a secretary. The boss wants to view this info on his computer in another room.

How is this done?

• Use a winsock control and write a chatroom style application.
• Create a database to hold your shared data, and make accessible to both PCs from the network.
• Place any data into text files on a shared network folder, for both PCs to access and load to a viewer with a timer control.

It all depends on the type of application you require, and your level of programming skills. The other factor is the type of network you use, and if the data is to be seen immediately, or on demand (query).
