[AccessD] WANs and Access

Rocky,

I have an app (not a commercial app - just something to support my users in their jobs) that runs on a server located in California, and my users (in California, Kansas, and Florida) connect via terminal services (Remote Desktop Connection) over our company's WAN.  FE and BE reside on the server, and each user gets a new instance of the FE in his/her TS.  My user count is usually <= 10, and the user experience is nearly the same as if the app were running as a FE/BE on their workstation.  When I connect from home, via VPN over a DSL connection, the response is nearly the same as when I'm at my desk at work.  Even via dialup, it's slower, but not so slow that I go crazy.

Don't know whether this strategy is appropriate to your situation, but may be worth a look see.

Don

Had a prospect ask me how robust my application would be running over a WAN.
Broadband connection but 'slow' according to his description.  Plus folks
dialing in from remote locations but at least 50MBPS.  Anyone have any
experience with this or know of any limitations with Access in this regard?
 
MTIA,
