Hello all smile.gif

Currently my company is using a software which is installed in all the individual pc and connected to the Access database which is stored at the main server.

I've found an alternative to Access which is Base (Open office).

May i know, if possible, how do i make a software, the user interface, and connect it to the Base database? Any free / open source software which i can use to create the user interface?

Any other suggestion to make a software with database?

Thank you guys smile.gif

If i were you, i'd start using a server based solution.

You would be better off using Microsoft SQL (licensed ware) or MySQL (freeware) and there are tons of ASP (for MSSQL) and PHP (for MySQL) based tutorials that you can use to make a good interface.

Base is individualized ...much like Access. Nonethless, you can connect using ODBC. Or check this out: http://www.easysoft.com/applications/openo...e_org/odbc.html
Good luck.

Hello sanjayws, thank you very much for your reply. notworthy.gif

Btw, may i know, what's the difference using your suggested server based solution and the one i'm currently have now?

In my case, i understand the database is using Access, how about the user interface? How do i make one? Any software to make the user interface (that later on can be connect to the base database)?

Thank you in advance icon_rolleyes.gif

Dear guys, i'm not sure whether i've mislead you all in explaining about a web-based program.. I'm so sorry..

What i meant was, my company is using a program (with .exe extension). The program itself connect to the access database which is placed in the main server.

My question is, may anyone can advise me on how to create a program which later on be install in each individual pc in my office and be able to connect to the Base database (instead of Access) which will be placed at the main server.

I hope i'm not confusing you all. I apologise if i did..

A million thanks in advance guys smile.gif
