I'd do something like this: * Base Dell Poweredge or similar with dual core CPU * Minimum 2GB RAM * A pair of SATA drives in RAID1 (software RAID at the OS level would be fine) * MS Windows Server 2003 Web Edition * MS SQL Server 2005 Express (standard won't run on the web edition OS) * CF or BD (might qualify as a BD Free edition install)
Might be able to do that for less than $1k Pete On 9/7/07, Billy Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My company is currently using a number of MS Access applications that we > have long ago outgrown.
