Message: [QUOTE="Arvin Meyer [MVP], post: 1671684"] Ten users is nothing, we've operated with 31 users using Microsoft's Terminal Server and hundreds (not Access though) on a Citrix cluster server. The cheapest solution would probably be WinConnect, for up to 21 users: [URL]http://www.thinsoftinc.com/product_thin_client_winconnect_server_xp.aspx[/URL] A good asp programmer will take an average of 5 to 6 times longer to create a similar ASP application than a good Access programmer. Even then, using a browser means using a thin client, not a rich client so you won't be able to do anywhere near as much on 1 form. If you are learning ASP, it will take much longer and there will be many things that you won't be able to do without considerable experience. Couple that with ASP being replaced by ASP.NET, you may want to consider the ..NET application instead. VBScript, the language of ASP, is very similar to VBA. VB.NET (or C#, or others) are not close at all, so you'll need to be prepared for a longer learning curve. The only conversion that I've done, was in reverse (ASP to Access) and the savings was huge on a complex application. Before making any decisions though, you can see what kind of performance you have by using the information I already mentioned about connecting a single session (you are allowed up to 2 without a Terminal Server product and license) First turn on RDP if it is turned off (Control Panel >>> System >>> Remote) Then: Start >>> Run then type: mstsc.exe You must know the IP address or the external computername of the computer that you are connecting to, or you can connect through your company server, then use that to connect to a machine on that network. If you use a VPN, it is far more secure than any other means. You can use my mirror website to find your IP address: [URL]http://datastrat.mvps.org/IP/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
