Well, you could run SQL7 on your remote box for full text search.
Since a full-text catalog runs only 8 searches at one time (it queues
the 9th and above), you can get by with at most 8 CALs.  So your SQL7
cost is considerably reduced if you run full text search only.  Note
that this does not violate the SQL7 license restriction that does
not allow YOU to restrict the number of simultaneous connections in
order to reduce your licensing cost (according to my non-attorney
interpretation of the M$ license -- but then even attorneys throw up
their hands reading a M$ license ;-)

best,  paul

PS> So I guess if you make every query include a search of a drop dead
simple full-text catalog, you would need at most 8 CALs ;-)  Perhaps
that's how M$ pinches the SQL7 engine that's in Access 2000.
