My biggest problem is I don't have access to the source code for the
application that creates and uses the sqlite database.
I think I'll have to look at creating my own application,
Ideally, I need a solution that enables me to share data between
machines (so I was thinking of a server/client type solution) but it
also needs to run when not connected to the internet/server.
I'm a bit stuck at the moment on how to store the data for two
situations,
Thanks,
Many Thanks

Nothing prevents you from programmatically manipulating your CoreData
store. CoreData is not a GUI-only technology. Get your data into some
format that your CoreData app can read, and write some code to blast
it into your store. This is much more foolproof, and probably easier,
than trying to manipulate the SQLite database directly.
To take that a step further, in principle there shouldn't be any
need to create an intermediate format -- you should be able to
write a utility (with or without a GUI) that reads the data from
the MySQL database using its native library and create and store
managed objects directly. See <http://developer.apple.com/
documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdImporting.html>
for hints as to how to do this efficiently.
