The underdog wrote: is it possible to use a online database in a local application? What do you mean by "online database"? Surely a database has to be online in order to work? Do you mean "remote"? (as in on another machine). If so, then do you mean within the same network or across the internet? The underdog wrote: how? Assuming you mean remote then the connection string will usually give the name of the server, or the location of the database. I would thing that file-bases databases (like Access) wouldn't work too well in the this scenario. But I've never tried other than a few connections in a LAN environment.

Or you can use the ODBC driver and connect via that.
