Remote access for Access DB?

[beachcomber]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to remote access issues. I'm
more familiar with programming. So, I could
really use someone to help point me in the right
direction here. We have an Access program
that will be used by several remote users. We
would like the remote users to all share the
same database for the program (we would like the
database to be on a main server accessible by the
remote users).

Can anyone point me in the right direction for
how to solve this problem? Would putting the Access
database on a server and setting up a VPN
to the server be the way to handle this?
Can the remote users simply set up an ODBC connection
to the remote server with the database?
Any advice, suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Beachcomber -

I suggest you check out a a reply to a post I have made earlier on this subject - it may be interesting to you. :
thread669-303683 I would bear in mind that this type of thing often means having at least a nodding aquaintance with several technologies (including CGI.)

Cheers..

Opp.

Hi Oppenheimer,

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, my cgi knowledge is
a little weak so I probably won't go this route but thanks for the suggestion just the same.

Thanks,
Beachcomber
