If your project is web based, you will find it very difficult to interect with it if you are Offline.

Can you supply more information as shaddow suggests?

What does your web based project do? BDC.

Hi,

I will explain . I have a web based project . In my project we are maintaining the Company's Employees Related data .

Now they are entering the Employees related data . Since it will take more time , they want an alternate to work offline and then synchronize those data with the main server. For this purpose only I want to know more detail about that .

Also in the Microsoft CRM , they mention this as a feature.

Our Client wants to work both online (directly interact with webserver uisng internet connection ) and Offline ( work with outlook , without the internet connection ) .

Thanks
Jerish

What database backend are you using? (Access/SQL) and how is outlook being used to interact with your application? BDC.

It's not hard to make that work but you have 2 ways.
1. You need to have a intranet webserver that can sustain the functionality of the main server. this is the easy way cuz you only need to replicate the main site to the local intranet server.

2. Make the work using client side script and html file to acces a local database and after completing the process syncronize these data with the main server. this might be hard.

or if you already have a solution you might post here ________
