You're post is a little unclear. Writing to a database is the same wherever it is. You just have to change the connection string and specify the correct address. If your DB is on a web server then you'll need the IP address or URL of that server. Of course, if you're sending data to a web site and the web site is connecting to the database then it's just a local connection. If you want more information than that I'm afraid you'll have to state your question more clearly.

Basically i need to send information(me and my football team) to a website


i found this to hard so i changed it to email which i got working. but since there is 24 of us on our team. knowing every ones smtp is goin to be hard.

i added about 10 smtp address to choose from but is there a way for vb.net to get the default address?

or even better be able to check the users isp so i can auto select it for them

What was so hard about the website submit idea?

Just take a look at the source of the page, for the textbox. Find its ID and make a HTTP GET request like:

http://www.yourserver.com/the_web_page.aspx?id=your_text_content
