Hi and thanks for the anwer.

My (Borland C++) Programm need to Update the Database from the Internet.
The Users who work with my Programm need to Update over the Internet.

CGI wpuld be a fine way, but i dont know how to do it at this point.
i Do some Tools with CGI on my Server, but very simple ones.
Now i download the Database-Update-File from the Server via
some Wininet Functions http or ftp. That works fine.
Its not very much professional but it works :o)

Maybe MySQL is a way, i have to look too?

Maybe i can "start" the CGI Script from my Client Programm on the Server and
that Script handle
the data i need from the Database and give back?

regards
Helge
