Until now, I have only worked with local database files. My forte is designing custom database solutions tailored to client needs in VB.NET.
I have however, never worked on a "database shared over a network".
My client has 3 - 4 PC's that need to be able to access a central database (3500+ entries - each data row contains 15-20 text fields and one image field).
My questions are?
1) Can I use SQL server express? Will there be licensing issues since I will be distributing (or manually installing) it on his PC? Is it legal to do so?
2) I already have an Access database on one PC? Should I just use that or convert it to SQL Express Database?
3) I am currently using the express editions of Visual Studio products. Will I be able to make a software that can interact with network (and eventually internet) shared databases?
