I would like to write a simple database application, using ADO, that shares the data over the internet. Using an Access database file och an Excel file is OK. The only thing is that I need a centralized database that my application easy can access for the users spreed over Europe. Primary I just need to read the data, but also be able to write back to it would be even better. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? If I can't use ADO, is there any other technic to use?

Yo ushould rethink our choice of db platform, try SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or something else.... ADO will work fine with any of the above... hth, brian -- Got a big event coming up?

Express is latest MSDE and is free though limited in size and Expres costs about 50 dollars US. You can connect directly to SQL Server via the internet but be sure to have an SSL Cert on the server and set up SQL server to use the cert. That will greatly reduce risk of being intercepted, but not necessarily being hacked. You need a firewall to protect from being hacked. Your best bet is an ISAPI application that uses a browser or IntraWeb which comes with Delphi although I have never personally used it. Good luck.

Regards Niklas Classic ASP is pretty easy and straightforward. ADO is fine. And depending on the demands made on the DB, Access may well serve you nicely. Excel isn't a database, altho many people try to use it as one. There are tons of tutorials and code snippets on the web. Here's one to get started on. http://www.webwizguide.info/asp/tutorials/updating_data_from_database.asp Mike Back to top Del Murray Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 4:11 am    Post subject: Re: Shared database on internet Yes, that is exactly what I meant ... damned keyboard .. it's about 60 years old now and cant put two sentences together right anymore without a speling eror.
