What do you mean by "offline"? Where are these applications running - on the same system, different systems, some local, some remote, etc.? Please edit your question and provide some proper details.

Yes.

How to do it is more complicated - it's going to depend on where your offline data is and how you want to access it, but a good start might be looking at webservices: The ASP .NET and VB .NET web service programming tutorials with working code and program examples[^]

My data will be on the local server where I need to access it! Is it possible?!

Go back a couple of stages and think about exactly what you are trying to do: remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
Then try explaining that to us, and we'll give you as accurate an answer as we can. At the moment it's all a bit vague, and that helps nobody.

I'll rephrase it and sorry for the ambiguity.

What I want to do is that I have a certain DB on a software that is offline, and I don't want it to be sent online for security reasons. But then again I need a certain data from that software, so I just want to send this particular data to another software that is connected to the internet, so I can access that specific data online. Is my question more clear now or are there any vague points left ?
And thank you so much for your help.

Easiest way to do that is set your DB server to reject remote access - that's pretty easy with SQL Server: under Server Properties/Connections you can uncheck the "Allow remote connections" option and it no longer responds to them. It can still be accessed directly via any software on your local network, which is what you want.
MySQL has something similar, I believe - but I'm not sure of the details (it's been a while since I last used MySQL).

Your "local software" then connects to the DB and can be as selective as it likes about what it sends on to the internet.

Thank you so much for your help. And in case I need anything else I'll just ask.
But I suppose this might work with me. Thank you again
