Hi to all you clever ones, God I wish I didn't have such a misspent
youth....

I currently have a DB that I have placed on a server in my office, both
myself and the wife, (AKA office Slave) are connected to and it seems to
work OK. Configuration is at present, tables stored on server with both our
DB's with linked tables to it and forms / quries on our own local DB. basic
but it seems to work.

My idea is to store the back end data on a web server rather than our email
server and connect to it from both the office and home via sluggish UK
broadband. I appreciate I could just link into my office using a VPN and
have manged to do that but was thinking of security etc...

I have set up a web space and tried without success.

Am I trying to be too clever???

Thanks for any help

Russell

If you have Windows XP and/or Windows 2000 Server you can use Remote
Desktop (sort of a VPN) to access a front-end set up in a folder on the
Server. Make a separate folder & front-end for each user that may be
using Remote Desktop to connect to your Server.

Linking your database to the Web is a lot more complicated than Remote
Desktop and more time-consuming, since you'd have to create web pages
that would allow you to manipulate your data and/or update it.
