Hi,

I built a windows form client app that access a db on a network. Now I was
wondering how can I set it up so that the app accesses the database through
the web? I don't want to rebuild the client app into an asp.net app. Maybe I
could or should use Web Services that sits on a web server with database and
do my updating through this route. What do you guys/gals think?

Thanks,

JJ

Web services may be the only option. You can hardly find any ISP that allows
users to directly access database they host through the Internet.

Hi Norman,

The web server is our own. So what options are available and make the most
sense to use?

Thanks,

JJ
