Hi thanks Kunal and Ravi for your quick reply. Yes i am going to make a centralized server for sure. But the issue is the locations are some distance away like one is factory and other 2 are shops at different locations. So if i keep DB server in one shop then how to connect that server the only solution i think of is either internet or using IP in connection string, is there any other way i can connect and do the transaction.. Ravi you suggested about wireless connection but what sort of Hardware will be required if u can suggest or does is it practically possible if the shops are far away from each other( but in same city). Thanks again in advance. Thanks

You can make a windows application for multiple system with centralised server. if you use windows application then you have to install your application exe in every system where you want to use appliaction. if you are using central server then your every system is in network through wire or wireless.
