I have a project that the client wants to be able to operate in a corporate environment with many users on SQL Server, and also in a standalone environment (I don't mean these users working offline, I mean a "1 user site") without SQL Server.
One thought I had was to create XML files for all the data, and then load them one by one into a DataSet and then add the foreign keys etc to effectively create an IMDB - but does that allow me to select out based on a query or anything? Can I select a "view" based on a couple of data tables in a dataset? I know I could tell them to use MSDE, but I am unsure of the target machines (Windows 9x etc) and don't want to be supporting my app and MSDE - would be easier if I just had to deal with my app and my app alone. Any ideas appreciated. Dino --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
