Hi all,
I'm working for a client of mine who's network has had to be split due to lease running out on site, basically i've been asked to come up with a solution so that all of his staff can still access ACT! from different locations.
What i've suggested to him was he rent a server (I'm in UK, but looking at US based servers as they're on 100mb conn and alot cheaper) where i create a VPN, and users can log in on that and access the shared folders, where i can plonk the DB file for them to access.
I'm not familiar with ACT! myself, so if someone can tell me if the above solution would be viable that'd be great.
Also, can anyone tell me briefly how the sync would work with this solution, and also the DB file is 23mb, would this cause problems?
Thanks in advance,
Jack
