I have no idea what your setup is. You have now introduced NAS drives at post #210!!! You also referenced VPN's which would not be used with Citrix
Maybe, you need to get an accurate description of how your Citrix environment actually works from your IT people.
If, you can access the NAS from your home computer using Google Chrome, then YES, it is web enabled and you can't use it to host your Access BE.
An NAS drive is not an actual server. It cannot run applications like Citrix. It is essentially a single purpose device which has enough intelligence to serve up files, either locally or via web access.

I explained this to you and why it is advantageous in my example way back. The advantage has nothing to do with corruption, it has to do with eliminating network latency as a factor in data transfer rates. If a file resides on the computer where an application is running, then you don't have to traverse a LAN to pull data from it.Under Citrix and/or for corruption issues - is there an advantage to having the FE and BE on the same server?
