Hi,

i have an application which uses Mysql 5.5 as database and vb6 as front end. The database is organized like this.
one database to store master tables like items , customers etc..
one database for transactions like purchase, sales etc..
for each financialyear one transaction database would be added

Currently i have only the desktop application connected to the database.
Now i am planning to have a website which can be used to view reports as well as enter orders from anywhare. So at the same time i want to use the desktop application as well as the website to use these databases

So my query was whether it possible to use the same local database as backnd for the website also which is being used by the desktop application. is it possible to connect to this database like this?
is there any disadvantages of using this approach?

Please give any valuable suggestions
