    Hi all... I am going to make a multi-user database application in VB.NET (VS 2008). I have made several db program using different databases and made some client-server based chat programs. But I never worked on multi-user db program. I wanna know that which database should I use as back-end. Application will be accessible by 3-5 users. I also wanna know that from where to start to build multi-user program. Suggest me. Thanks.

      Assuming you're not storing ridiculously massive amounts of data, SQL Server Express would be a reasonable choice. Actually, pretty much anything but Access would be reasonable - there are way too many WTF's created by trying to make a multi-user Access system!

        Personally, I use MySQL as the database and I connect my client application using WCF services.

          Go with Sql Server Express, and get the Sql Server Management Studio to go with it. They're free, and should work for you. I think the db limit is now up to 10 gigs
