Right now I want TWO people to share the same data without having to pass disk between us. Eventually I may add form templates which would be on a browser for simple data entry. I don't want to support a complex setup on the other persons PC. I know how to create a connection on the fly provided the DSN is acceptable. In the lan world the db would have a drive letter (g:\data\..), the net? I don't know.
