A "listener application" that sit on a machine on a network behind a firewall. It runs 24/7 and monitors a TCP Port which is "port forwarded" by the router to that machiine from anywhere on the internet. When a packet is received, the listener parses it, queries a database, formats the response and sends it back out to the originator. Can you build a TCP/IP server which will run 24/7 in Access? (and in 30KB<g>) Take a look at the Tax Calculators on my website. Imagine distributing those to the public as Access applications!!! Lots of other examples if you want. -- Stuart On 23 Oct 2009 at 15:05, Max Wanadoo wrote: > Yes, but I do all SQL stuff FROM access.
