Sounds an awful lot like a homework problem.  Why don't you do some work on your own and then ask for help?

Well..actually we haven learn about it at all......so i have 0 experince in it...it was just an opinion given to me by my lecturer...:)
It sounds very intresting and i really dont know where to start and what to do.
It's a classic client/server problem.  You need two programs, one for each computer.  On the server computer, you need a "listener" that accepts incoming requests from the network, processes the request, and sends the appropriate reply.  The ODBC stuff you mentioned is what is used to process the request.  To write a listener, check out the WINSOCK functions bind(), listen(), accept(), receive(), and send().

On the client computer, you need to take some user input and generate a network request to the server.  Again, check out the WINSOCK functions connect(), send(), and receive().

That's a start....

Kishore,

Do you always copy other's comments and post them as your own answers?
