GFranco, you're just asking for more frustration when you access MDB files over a WAN/Slow LAN. If you need remote Access, you should look to SQL Server based solutions--not file based database solutions. I gave a presentation on this subject for an Access user group. I put a meter on my bandwidth and showed the difference between remote and local data access. It wasn't pretty. Access has to send large chunks of data over the wire for the simplest of queries.
In going to SQL Server you may think it's overkill, but you've crossed the boundary into an area where traditional Access MDB's do not do well.
Your choices include: 1. Back End Data goes into a SQL Database with linked tables to the front end Access App. 2. Back end data into SQL Database, some kind of web interface 3. Keep as is and use terminal server (depending on how many connections required)
