If so what's the best approach.
My application is this, I might need to occasionaly word documents on our network for quick reference purposes along with minor document editing.

Well you can access your network on wifi with Es file explorer. Ive got a home server that I can copy files over to my phone with and also transfer files back to the server. Now as far as editing I'm not sure which app to use.
Agreed, I use ESFileExplorer for all of my local storage and network storage browsing needs. I am able to browse and open files on my home server so long as I am connected to my own LAN with no problems (if on another network I connect to server via AndFTP).

CIFS Manager is great if you are rooted. Netarchy beta kernels have CIFS support and Cyanogenmod 7 works with the default kernel (unsure about other versions).

Dropbox. Probably my favorite file sharing solution.
dropbox is awesome! would you like a referral email
Try Team Viewer. I can access my work pc from anywhere in the world as long as I have WiFi or 3g. Best of all it's free for personal use.
Don't forget openvpn. Share those files anywhere in the world.
When I am on a windows network I use samba as seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8239139&postcount=128 -- Works quite well. When I am out and about I live/die by dropbox.
Any of these apps support appletalk?
Homepipe will work, and is free on the market.
AndFTP and SSH for SFTP file transfers. All privacy and encryption you'll need.

Very good replies, I will have to start at the top and try them all.
In fact I will start with the first one mentioned now...
I may need to look into vpn as well, but i'll cross that bridge when the times calls for it.
Oh when you guys say something like 'home server' you mean just a pc with a share setup right, aka work group, not a domain. Not an actual network OS like win server 2008 and what not? I will be connecting to both scenarios between home and work.

I'm seeing a few issues with es file explorer
1. file permissions, I can only open word docs in read only.
2. For some file extensions I don't get prompted for what all to open some things, for example when I open a picture the default app for pix seems to be esfile explorer instead of giving me a choice and I need to be able to zoom in on these pix.
I don't see any options for either of these limitations, if I don't find a fix I will just move on to another app I guess.

One thing I missed about MIUI is the built-in FTP server within the File Explorer.
I have tried a few FTP server apps and so far I don't like any of them.
If you use FTP to transfer files (as opposed to USB cable), which one do you use?
I like AndFTP on the client side, and SwiFTP for serving.

I am currently working on a test application Login and Register. I've created a database by implementing PHP and Mysql. I was wondering if using that previous method would be better or using SQLite would be better. Any opinions?
I'm not 100% sure of what you're trying to do (more details would be great!), but I'll try my best to answer.
If your app is connecting to a remote server to login, PHP and MySQL is the way to go. If your app queries a local database on the phone, use sqlite.

For the webserver I use Jersey Lib it's very easy to do with annotations and then you only need to do a HTTP GET/POST/PUT to the WS on the server
thank you for replay,
can you give step by step explanation? ,with sql server
For sql server, most likely you're using an IIS for web server... Hence you can use asp for web services... w3schools offers a good tutorial on this... Have fun!
