Hello,
We have an Access 2000 database which is currently is split with the back-end on an NT server and the front end on five office PC's.
One of our employees needs to work from home for a period and we would like to try & support him in this by providing access to the company database. He has a PC at home with highest speed broadband access and remote dial-in to the server to currently synchronise email. He may be able to come into the office once a week.
I have performed some searches on possible solutions. The ones I have found are:
1. remote access running the database over a live connection with a front-end on his home PC
2. use Microsoft NetMeeting
3. have the database on the company website and have users access this way
4. replication
The database is quite large and for each client record there are about 10 associated records (children, premises, accounts, complaints etc).
Could the database become corrupted with 1. even with a high speed broadband connection?
I have no experience in 2., 3., or 4.
I am still looking at options/searching however any pointers or suggestions users have from experience would be appreciated.
Thank you.
