How Do connect to an SQL 2005 server via I-net
-
I wrote a Data entry app in VB.net and connected it to a SQL server 2005 database that is on our LAN. I was just informed that this app will have to be used offsite by multiple users at different locations around my state and it has to update a central data store. It would take me way too long to duplicate this app in ASP.net (I am ASP illiterate and only have a week to do this.) Is there a way I can get my fat client app to use my database, which sits on my local area network? My company does have a domain and we do have an IIS server but I'm clueless.

If you have a static IP, you could just open the port for the database on your network and point the apps to that IP address/port.
