Access DB with SQL Server Back End
- by uyuni99
I have an old Access application that has a lot of code in forms and reports. The database is getting too large and I am thinking of moving the back end to SQL Server.
My requirements are as follows:
The DB needs to be multiuser and the users (3-5) will need to log in over the web
I would prefer not to re-write the forms and reports in ASP or some other web front end.
When I think about my choices, I see them as:
Have an Access ADP front end and allows remote log-in to the server where it is stored. Not sure if it is possible for 2 users to simultaneously log in
Distribute an ADP front end to the users, but I am not sure if it is possible to connect to a SQL Server back end over the internet, and the network traffic may be an issue.
Any other solution?
I appreciate all help.
