Setting up a Networked Database?

How would I setup a couple of Database Applications to access the same
Database over a network.

The setup is like this:

The Database resides on one machine (Server).

The 1st Application (App1) can reside on the Server or one another machine
on the network(Client), and remains running and writes information to the
Database upon user input.

The 2nd Application (App2) can reside on the Server or on a Client, and it
monitors the data being entered by App1.  App2 uses a number of querries on
multiple Tables from the Database and it updates every 3-5 secs.

The Applications work fine when both run on the same machine with the
Database on that same machine aswell (i.e. not over a network), but how can
I get App2 to monitor and display the data being entered by App1 over a
network?  The only way I have found to get it working is to Disconnect and
Reconnect the Database components in App2 every time it updates, but this
causes flickering in my display grids (which are displaying the query
results).

Thankyou in advance for any help.
