Access and WAN links Configuration

[Guest]

Hello,

We have a customer who has around 5 remote sites and one main site. At the main site they use about 5 access databases roughly all less than 25 MB. He would now like to be able to access these databases from the remote sites using either a VPN or terminal services. I know a VPN is not an ideal platform for accessing Access databases. Is terminal services the way to go or do you have any other suggestions.

Thanks,

Joe

I do think that Terminal services is the way to go.
