Without a lot more information, it is unlikely that anyone can help you. If this is a web-based application, then the database is probably protected from direct access outside the web-servers.

Thanks for the info. The program is a DVD based computer game. Im really unsure as to what information would be required to help me. If anyone could give me any ideas i would be very grateful.

If the game uses some intern database, and not a database like Oracle or MySQL, then the only way I can think of is to reverse engineer the application. It requires you to have a big understanding of the platform the game is on, memory and the Assembly programming language.

I would start by looking at the files listed on the DVD. If anything is installed on your hard-drive, I would also look at that. It seems likely, however, that the stats are simply in a file which may be encrypted to prevent people from poking around in it.
