Are you saying that your VB apps are installed on the users machines,
but that you want the high-scores to be saved on the mySQL database
residing on your web-server?
If so, write a php-script that takes i.e. username and highscore as
params, and make that phpscript do the db-writing on the server.
From vb, use the XmlHttp object or one of its siblings to POST
the data to this php-script on the server.
To view the high-scores, use the same principle. (Do it from php, and
when your vb client needs it, Use HTTP).
