With an appropriate connection string (like any other way to connect to the database). I'm really not sure what you expected of this answer. Perhaps you need to rephrase your question.


When I look around, I find that there are alot of ways to accomplish the same thing. Some argue that one way is better than the other, and vise versa. But I feel that there must be a way that is appropriate and sufficient, without any fancy hacks Big Grin | :-D

All I need is to be able to access a data store, located on a server in a LAN, from any number of client machines. Just like I would access a database on a webserver from an asp.net app. I just don't know how to do it in a windows forms app, where the database is located on a LAN server. Maybe it's a simple answer, that makes me want to hide in shame. I just haven't been able to find it, and I have been looking around alot. Maybe my search criteria is bad, I don't know...

And don't worry, I'm not looking for a finished solution here, where is the fun in that? I just need to know a good way to establish a connection between a windows forms app and a database, in an environment such as the above mentioned.

No reason to walk down a dead end, if I can get the right directions from someone who's been there... Wink | ;)
