[AccessD] Access database on the Internet

Hi Jim:

Yes a VPN link can be used but; and this is where theory and practical
application collide. The following comments may cause the usual ripples but
in the connection method you can not used 'bound' forms, the connection is
simply too slow, unstable and prone to database corruption.

'Unbound' forms can be used, with proven results but the initial setup and
design more complex.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
Why can't VPN be used to access the BE with Access?

Jim,

Thanks for your input. Are you saying that some clients get to the Access BE
via ASP on a web page and your other (LAN) clients get at in the usual way
with a FE/BE situation? My question was directed specifically at Internet
access. That is, if I've got the BE mounted on a web server then,
apparently, the only way to get to the data is through an ADO connection via
ASP pages.
