Hello, See if anyone can help me. I need to design a web application upload to a server that works with a database hosted on the PC user logged. This means that when a user logs on, the application configures the connection to a database hosted on your PC. Is it possible to RoR? Is it possible with Java,. Net, php ...? greetings and thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Have you ever thought about firewalls?, NAT? Port Forwarding? Saying this is possible for all those platforms smells like trolling. Please invest your time in more productive stuff.

I think I read it in a rush and I rushed myself to reply. I''m sorry David, nevermind my words. On the other hand, depending on what you need to do, HTML5''s local storage might be a good option.> > Colin > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > >-- Leonardo Mateo.

Net, php ...?It is *possible* to do this - it''s not well-documented, but there used to be a version of Intuit''s Quickbooks API that would allow a user to sign into a website and grant access to that user''s LOCAL copy of Quickbooks. On the other hand, that solution required additional custom software on the user''s machine and was tricky to set up under the best of circumstances. I''d recommend you think hard about *why* you''re trying to do such a thing before heading down that road... --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
