Dean, Thanks for the info. Does the Jump Ap require the installation of anything on the "server side"?

It works reliably and I would easily recommend it. I connect to a terminal server and work with access several front ends from my iPhone and iPad. I can't say this is ideal, the Touchscreen to Windows Mouse UI translation is clumsy. I don't blame this on Jump, theirs seems a decent implementation. Screen size is a significant limiting factor on either device. I suppose I would adapt the use of the screen and layout controls in the Access FE much differently if I were trying to use it this way on a regular basis. For access occasionally, quickly looking up information or troubleshooting, I have to say it is rock solid reliable. Works every time, very speedy and no bugs. Dean S.
