sharing data

[Guest]

Using Access 2003, I would like to have two pc users in different towns be
able to add records to a database placed on a server running Windows 2003
Server. Tehy will also need to access reports. I have read many articles but
not sure which would be the best way to go. Even looked hard at replication
but it doesn't seem doable between a pc connecting to the internet.

Please advise.

Hi Don,

I think you want to look into using Terminal Server. Each user should have a copy of the
front-end in their own folder on the Terminal Server, so that they're not sharing the same FE
file.

Access does not do well when run on a WAN.
