Can VB be up-to-date from time to time?

[Nybuler]

Hi all, i'm a student. My Final Year Project supervisor want me to develop a software for wholesale industry, and he want the software can update the data from time to time

Example: A company having 2 Branch in B and C place
While B place made a sale! the record will be directly update so C place staff can see the sales of B place. So the sale ID won't be duplicate and their database are link!
i think it need a server right? but how to set up a server and get my software on it??
how to manage the server? or i don't need a server?

Can VB Do that? How it can be done?

Any comment or relevant article or tutorial link are welcome ^^
I would love to study on it.

Thank you all in advanced.

You need to update the data not the application, right ?

You need to use a centralized database and all the branches should access the single instance.

You might want to look into Sync Services (Sync Framework) for ADO.NET, which enables applications to be connected to a central database and upload/download/synchronize data from time to time:

An excellent way to start is watching this video:
