Hi there,
I am a little new to doing both windows and WEb apps at the same time. I have done each separately however. The question I have is:

Is there a way to keep a DB used for the web app and the DB used for the windows app, in sync or use the same one?

Thank you so much!

If they're doing the same thing and the only difference is the interface to the data (web/windows) then the same database would make the most sense. Really hard to tell you more than that without more details. Just from a maintenance perspective it's always easier to maintain 1 system. If you had 2 similar databases and they need to synch to each other you might consider some form of replication, merge or peer to peer.
