Question : Remote ms access back end

Hi

I have a ms access database, front end and back end, i have been researching about how to access this database remotely, most answer that i get said that is imposible to do it with access and somecase corrupt the database.
Some comments said that is possible to do it qith SQL or MySqlWhich one in better and why?
I am new to these, but i need to do it.
I am planning to upsize my back end tables to SQL or MySQL and them access it remotely?
Is this possible?
What is the best and easiest way to do it?
I heard about VPN?
How does it work?
Right now to connect remotely i am using logmein orother sites that let you access your pc remotely, but i need to do it directly.

Please give a hand on this.

BEst regards
Robert

Answer : Remote ms access back end

I would suggest you look at Windows Terminal Server.  I have two clients with this setup and it works VERY well, and is also very fast.  The clients access the FE remotely and locally.  In this case, the FE and BE are both on the server.  They have approx 10-15 users at any one time.

A few others here on EE (namely LSMConsulting, et.al) also have had good luck with TS.  Other than that ... other solutions are probably going to be sketchy at best.

Now, you did really give much info as to how many users, nature of the app, etc.   What is your expected setup regarding that?
