1. share your database on LAN/WAN
2. set new connection string in exe/text file [where sql connection string is written]

step 1: follow steps given in this link [For access sql database remotely(from different pcs)]
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277[^]

step 2: after step 1 complete then change connection string's parameters,
datasource = server-name OR IP-Address [which is in sharing now after step 1] ;
Initial catalog = your database name ;
UserId = sql server - user login Id ;
Password = sql server - user login password;

Happy Coding!
:)

You need no more that being able connect remotely to the central database (since you may use the database as communication, sinchronization mean for the applications).
