If you have Windows XP and/or Windows 2000 Server you can use Remote
Desktop (sort of a VPN) to access a front-end set up in a folder on the
Server. Make a separate folder & front-end for each user that may be
using Remote Desktop to connect to your Server.
Linking your database to the Web is a lot more complicated than Remote
Desktop and more time-consuming, since you'd have to create web pages
that would allow you to manipulate your data and/or update it.
