Inter-Application Communication on Windows

[Dave]

Hi,

Since they are two standalone applications they will have different  
engine's and different SQLite libraries, so I don't think you could  
access the same database with it getting corrupted. If you know a way  
do this this I'd be VERY interested.

Thanks

All the Best
Dave
