Dear group: I was wondering if I could get some input for the following scenario: I am writing an AccessXP FE for a MS_SQL Server database that will live on the internet. I was wondering how would be the best way to connect to the data (only I can TRULY answer this question)? But in asking myself that, I was wondering what the pros and cons of each of these are and if anyone has strong feelings one way or another on these: 1) Linked tables via ODBC (using system DSN) 2) Write the FE as an .adp with tables directly connected to server tables 3) Call all connections on the fly to the server where the BE is located 4) Some other way that I do not know about. Most users will have an DSL or T1 connection to the internet. Thanks in advance for your inputs. -Stephen Zayko
