[AccessD] Across across the internet

Thanks Stewart.

I need to set up a small system to run a small db for a couple of clients, with an Access 2007 FE 
until I can build out a C# FE.  I am much faster in Access (2003 and below) but don't want to 
support it any more.  However *IF* I can get a 2007 run time happening then I could install that on 
the client app and access a small server at my office, again just temporary.  I have "been going to" 
build a dev virtual machine so this will be it.  VS 2008, SQL Server Express 2008 and Office 2003 / 
2007.

I have just set up a VM to run on one of my servers and am installing all the software now.  I am 
trying to figure out how to secure it as much as possible.  I installed Hamachi and created a new 
network for it.

Since I have full control I can do whatever I can figure out to secure it.
