Hey hey guys!

Well, I had to make a vb app because I need it for some things. I connected the application to an SQL server database which allows me to get data from there. The problem here is that I want it to be installed in other computers. My database is local so what can I do? Do you have any ideia?

Thanks and have a good day!
 
You have a couple of options. You could set up terminal services (Remote Desktop) on a local server and have the other computers run the app there. You could put your database in the cloud. I know GoDaddy has hosting options with SQL databases (or MYSQL, depending how ms-dependent your app/db is). You could set up a VPN connection into your server and have the PC's dial in. This one would require the most bandwidth and could cause problems if they are on a slow or flaky connection.

Those are just some ideas of the top of my head.

I know I have a lot of options but I think it is better if I create a local database that is installed with my application
