Hello My Fellow Programmers,
My name is Arinzechukwu. I have been using vb.net to develop desktop (windows form) application with MS Access as database. But recently I decided to move a step further.

Now, I want to develop an accounting software for a mini Super-Store, this program will be able to run on a network with a central database; in other words a network application.

My problem is that I do not have any idea on how to achieve this. I have not used sql sever before neither have I written any application that will run on a network. Please I need your help on how to achieve this. Any contribution would be highly appreciated.
I, will also like you to recommend the best DBMS for me to use, a friend suggested SQL Server compact. Do I use this?
