dont mind me. I am a total newbie to this.
I thought sharing databases was a pretty easy thing to do.
I am surprised that you couldnt just create the database for him and let him
populate it.
I was thinking that my wife would be able to access the complete database
from her moble device.
then again being she doesnt have a moble device yet that would be a pretty
good trick.
