why on the internet?
if they are so close why not over LAN? that way you could make a program that would use the same database. for that problem i would choose a programme.

but if you really want it over the internet ... php and mysql ... a little work and it could be done. i would though recopmmend you owning the server on witch the php applucatioin and database is located. in case of technical problems you don't depend on someone else

tel us on what you decide and perhaps we'll be able to point you in the right direction.

well the thing is that it is a big compagny i would not be alowed to install a programe int he computers.

so i guess that solves that probleme.lol

for the internet version i guess it would be the best way to go,like that we can both be on it togther an leave it on the computer screen.

but it has to be free cause the compagny will not pay.

i was looking on hotscripts and found this.

thx

Well i will rather say u go 4 intranet.. with that u can easily share files.. within ur company and also communicate to eash staf by using the intranet Chat.. i didn't say Internet i meant INTRANET.

could you not just use something as easy as Yahoo or Messenger? I mean yeah a PHP orientated thing would work, but it'd be pretty pointless.

he cant install programs on company computers remember!

Fair enough, in which case the solution could be to simply use an online chatroom.

Sorry if i'm being negative, but this isn't an easy task unless you're fairly experienced in PHP programming. Or, you have money to give in trade for skills, but since you can't do that then it's unlikely that anyone is going to be able to offer you a free service (at least one thats reliable and they'll maintain it too).

If this company is anything, they will listen to their employee's, if not, tell them to go on management theory courses!

lol

Hear hear!

lol it is a very big company.and thx guys for the help.

i will leave this project on hold for now.if i do something i will update you guys.

How about a collaboration package like moregroupware or sugarCRM OS 3.0 .

Reinventing the wheel is unnecessary headache.

Both are opensource so you can retune them as you need.
