Question : Connecting from remote

Hello there,
I m trying to make some test but before getting crazy let me ask you experts if that is possible.
I would like to create the back-end part of the database that is on a computer that act as a Server and the front end installed on single pc even on those that are not inside the company. Is possible to achive that and if yes how?

Thank you
Roberto

Answer : Connecting from remote

This is a big topic, but generally, yes.  You can use an Access front-end application with a remote database in several scenarios:

Access - SQL Server (see my "Best of Both Worlds" presentation at http://ow.ly/M2WI)
Access - Azure (http://www.fmsinc.com/microsoftaccess/cloud/link-to-azure-sql-database.html)
Access - Access using Terminal Services
Access - SharePoint (needs 2010 for optimal setup)

Note that you really can't do remote applications using a normal Access back-end.  It just isn't optimized for this.

Cheers,
