[AccessD] Across across the internet

Guess it's all a matter of terminology.  

The way I look at it, if the app can access SPs and Views in a database then that database 
*is* exposed to that app and if the app connects to the the db via the internet, the database is 
"exposed" to the internet..  

I don't consider "expose" to be synonymous with "let users directly access the tables in".
