Access front end hosted back end

[Guest]

I am looking to move my lan based access application for real estate to an
internet solution. It would be great if I could attach my tables to a hosted
back end. SQL or otherwise. Is this possible? will access attach over the
internet?


If not, I am looking for the next access. I will need merge ability with
word. It has to be rapidly customaizable and easy like access but allow me
to do this from the road or home. If their is a productplease let me know.

Visial studio.net?
CRM?

Thanks

Kevin

You can connect to sql server over the internet with ms-access.

I explain some other possible options here:

Keep in mind the speed differences between your office LAN and the internet
(the factor is huge). So, if that factor has not set in, then you read my
article again for a 2nd time....

You can well use sql server, and have ms-access connect over the internet,
but you do need GOOD DESIGNS that minimize the bandwidth used.

We are searching for the Access replacement. We do not know if we should go
CRM or design from the ground up. We need a customizable front end to
connect to web bassed data. Multiple tables and queries. Is their a rapid,
easy to work with microsoft product for this? One that maybe integrates well
with office?

Thanks
