I'd love to - but I don't think I quite understand how!

I have a little experience with mySQL and it is easy to get an internet 
account with cheap space that runs MySQL. Also, the site that hosts my 
web site already has this as an option. I also envisage displaying at 
least some of the data in web pages using php etc.

How would I use Valentina Server?

What would I run it on?

etc. etc.

The database would have to be "on the internet" since all users are in 
different locations.

Yes. When the user chooses to "synchronize", the online data would be 
updated to show any changes she has made and changes made by other 
users would be downloaded to her machine.

I don't really understand this. Do you mean it would be better to use a 
timestamp column rather than the integer column I suggested in the 
first email?

Thanks,

Ian.
