There might be easier way, but I would use ODBC. Set up an ODBC source on each of the computers (Start -->control pannel --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources). In there you can set the IP address of the computer that hosts the database. If your VB program does not currently use ODBC you will have to change that too.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Hi,

What is the database back-end u r using?
If u have done coding without creating the ODBC, then
Changing the connection string will do.
Tell me the datasbase, What data objects u r using in VB?
(DAO/RDO/ADO...?)
if possible paste the database connection here.
i will give u the Connection string.

Regards
Veena
