[AccessD] WANs and Access

...unplanned disconnects, even momentary, are the bane of any file server db 
system ...in my experience Access and WAN requires a Terminal Server or 
Citrix implementation to be both reliable and fast ...not to say it can't be 
done otherwise but that my experience with such sucks because disconnects 
are almost inevitable ...however, if you do go the TS route, your Access app 
can actually be faster in the user's view even though he's hundreds of miles 
away.

...btw, if you do look at this route, Citrix costs more than TS but their 
support is a whole lot better imnsho and well worth the extra bucks. TS in 
the mean time, is actually an older version of Citrix that MS licensed and 
has done some work with.
