Hosting

[Guest]

I currently have a Access Database...not data entered yet...just developed.
However, our office does not have a server. We have office locations that are
more than 30 miles apart. Any ideas on how to host the database so that we
have concurrent user information.
P.S. my database is rough and needs work as well.

Access databases don't "play nice" over wide area networks. I'd very
strongly recommend using a terminal-server solution such as Citrix
Server or the like.

P.S. my database is rough and needs work as well.

Feel free to post specific questions, or consider hiring an expert to
fix it up (if you do so, now might be a good time; if there are
structural problems with the tables, you want them fixed *before* you
get a lot of data in!)
