Do I need to Re-Install MySql?

[TonyScarpelli]

I want to put a MySql database on my network file server.

Right now I have it on my local workstation and I been writing a VB .NET application to access the local data. Now I need to start testing it on the network.

Do I have to reinstall MySql to get the data files on the network computer?

Thanks

Not reinstall, but install it for the first time on the server.

I suppose you might be able to map a drive to the server and specify that as the location in your local my.cnf file, but I wouldn't.
