Once downloaded they can run the executablewhich will then install on their systems. The problem I have is that I'm not sure which datasbase to use for my app? MS Access, SQL Server (MSDE)...something else?? 1) I want a simple to install and setup database with a minimal download foot print. 2) Does anyone have any advice for me on simple deployment and update techniques?

I would take a look at the Advantage Database Engine by iAnywhere. The system only uses a couple of files (2 DLLs and 3 text files) in what they call "Local Mode". Which means it uses the local files to control the data and not the ADS server application. Plus using the ADS table format gives you a ton of power. The local version of ADS is free and can be downloaded from the web site below. Also download the Arc32 database tool for creating the Website: www.advantagedatabase.com Downloads: http://solutions.advantagedatabase.com/dz/login.aspx Quote: 2) Does anyone have any advice for me on simple deployment and update techniques? TMS Software has a component called TWebUpdate that maybe what you are looking for.
