We are currently working on a new piece of software. It is coded in the .NET
enviornment using C#. We will be running this software via ASP for our
customers.

My question is if a customer wants to have access to the database for
possible report writing....how do we give them access via the ASP?
--

Do you mean ASP = Active Server Pages or ASP = Application Service Provider?
Either way, if you customer needs access to the database then you will have
to open up some TCP ports on the firewall to allow access directly to the
DB. I suggest not using the standard SQL Server ports if your database is
SQL Server. You could also provide VPN access that would then allow access
to the DB.

Thanks,

Sam
