Help -- Not sure where to go with this.

I am writing an app and need it to be served from the server using Click
Once Deployment. No problem. Got the publishing to work.

Here is the problem. There is an SQL Express Database involved and when the
DB is updated on the client, it doesn't update it on the server. If I goto
another client, perform the necessary installs, and run the app, the
addition I made on the previous client machine is not seen on the new client
machine. Is there a way to update the DB on the server?

Please say, "yes there is..."

Sounds like each instance of your app has its own SQL Server database, or am
I misreading what you said?
If you want all instances of your app to access and update the same
database, they must all connect to a single database instance on a
designated server.
Your statement:
"when the DB is updated on the client, it doesn't update it on the server"
leads me to the conclusion above.

Please clarify the relationship between the database(es) and multiple
installed instances of your app.
