ADP over Intranet & Internet ?

[kensaffer]

Back-end is SQL Server 2000. Over 30 users want to access Access 2000 application. At work they will use ADP Front-end (Access 2000).
Can they do this from home(internet) or outside of network.
Can they do this without having .adp on their desktop ?
How can they and also use Access ?
If they use Data Access Page, can I copy/use the forms that they use in ADP ?
I'm new to Access.

>Can they do this from home(internet) or outside of network.
This Q can only be answered by the people who manage your network. It is theoretically possible.

>Can they do this without having .adp on their desktop ?
If you use Terminal_Services/Citrix then possibly.

>How can they and also use Access ?
What does this mean? They can use Access on their local pc if Access is installed on it.

>If they use Data Access Page, can I copy/use the forms >that they use in ADP ?
No - you will have to redevelop the front end.

Thank you for the reply and I have several followup questions. What do you mean Terminal Server, where do they get it from ? They don't need Access on their desktop to do this ?
Can using a data access page allow users to enter data and retrieve data ? Canit be used just like the front end ?
