Using an Access database of any decent size directly over a DSL/cable connection is going to be painful. Remember that you are basically pulling the entire .MDB over the wire to in order to use it.

Right now, everything is being driven by cost. So the right solution isn't always the best solution. My thought was more of a 'has anyone tried accessing an Access DB over the wire via VPN with a DSL/Cable connection'. I think the best way to do this is to have the Execs connect and run the DB with slow speed and then offer a faster solution. :-) Thanks again for the replies. -----Original Message----- From: Carmine Poliandro Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 12:40 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Terminal Services and VPN or VPN Alone I am new to TS. I am trying to implement a remote connection infrastructure. The company runs an Access DB. Does it make sense to use VPN and have the users open Access locally and run the DB across the connection? Or, have them use VPN w/TS and run the DB local to the server? I'm looking for some feedback on best practices as well as cost considerations. Please assume that all remote connections are DSL/Cable and that the maximum number of remote concurrent users is 10. The DB is approximately 88MB. Thanks in advance.
