                                            | Hi all,first post and a bit of an amateur with this stuff so any and all help much appreciated...basically I've been told to investigate the possibility of querying the data stored on a server on our local network from our remote website, via the local network's external IP. I am aware that support for Server 2000 has been withdrawn from VS 2010 and so I would need to use ODBC commands... I was just wondering if this is at all possible to begin with, and whether the limitations of ODBC data sources make it impractical regardless.If that's the case, could I do it if we upgraded our database to 2005/2008?Thanks in advance! |  |
