[AccessD] Web application

I was thinking about trying to use something like LogMeIn but of course then there is an issue with 
users / rights at the workstation level etc.

I doubt that they have a TS server.  This is a smallish NP local to a hand full of counties in North 
Carolina.

I would really like to write something that could be accessed via a browser so that they could enter 
their data from their homes etc.
