hi!.. first of ol sory for my bad english....

I have a problem:
I want to create a database system using MSACCESS and VB6 that will be on 3 computers connected via LAN.

1. the 2 computer will be the registration section, and the last 1 will be the payment section.
2. the registration section will simply register some (ex. student information) names, and other personal information. Then that information will be stored or will have a copy in the payment section for payment and assesment...

Hmmm?... is this posible?..

its like they are sharing 1 database...

How can i do it?.. can you give me some simple sample....

Thanks....

Why Dont U use ODBC?
Create ODBC and make your data folder share with full permission.

Hmm?.. use the complete path of the file with the server address..?

Example i have this server address:
