Remote access to MS Access - Please Help!
-
Thank you! :-O I need to allow upwards of 10 District Managers remote access to an Access Database. These Managers will be spread out across Canada. Would it make sense to use an ASP or to use some software like PCAnywhere? I am kinda stuck and would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you so much, Josie Marent

Well, both ASP and PCAnywhere could be good solutions. If you use PCAnywhere you need to write your application in access, because all the users would be using remote control of your server. With ASP you need to write the application using Active Server Pages, so I guess it depends on what you know most about. If security is a great consern for you, and the users access the app. using the internet, I would go for ASP, maybe using a SSL connection to encrypt the pages. If a hacker hacks your webserver he have a harder job taking over your server, than if he hacks a server running PCAnywhere... - Anders
