There are numerous approaches to doing this. However, I would advise fully collecting and understanding all security requirements before embarking down any particular path. You might want to steer away from any solution that involves writing to the Internal database from the Internet Web site. Instead, perhaps a solution where an internal app or script goes out periodically over a secure connection to the Internet site and downloads the updated data to the internal database.

Since it's nationwide, and I assume their is no trust between the networks, there could be some problems with firewalls, protocols, etc. and of course the response time will be slower. sorry, couldn't be more help, just thought i'd offer some food for thought. -----Original Message----- From: jason mardian [mailto:twohokiesand12b@;hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 4:50 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: Interacting with a client database ASP gurus, Is there a way to interact (add, delete, update rows) with a database that resides on a clients computer through asp. The example that follows probably describes it better: Company A wants to have its clients all over the nation to be able to hit its asp pages and update the database that resides at company A. At the same time the clients have a databse on their computer/network that needs to be updated with the same information. Is this possible? Any suggestions will be most helpful. thanks jason _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls!�Get MSN Broadband. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/freeactivation.asp --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
