Thanks for the reply. Maybe i am lost.. but let me rephrase what i want to do and we can re-evaluate myself then.. :-)
I do not want to share data on a central server. I think the XML idea you gave is what i am looking for. All i am looking for is to pack up my app, and send it to a friend, who can install it and use it, add data on his own without connection to my data back here on a server. I will check out the XML as the data storage function. if you have time, a program that i have seen that comes to mind is here: http://www.timeclockmts.com/ It is a timeclock program that you can add users, and the users can clock in and out. it also tracks holidays and you can generate reports. If you download the free trail and install it, it makes a folder in program files, and adds the following 13 files. None of which (to me) look to hold any data. timeclockmts.exe unins000.exe app_48.ico readme.css help.chm license.htm readme.htm buynow.html timelockmts.html uninstallsurvey.html revisionlist.txt tips.txt unins000.dat After you mentioned the XML as data storage, i was expecting to see an xml file. i do not. Any idea how this program stores data?
