for a mac you can create a virtual drive and install windows - then work as usual. Also found this link a while back - no idea if it will work or not https://www.codeweavers.com/products, doesn't look like it works for android. And so far as I know, android does not support virtual drives

Citrix is about the only universal option. You can host the Citrix server on your own LAN and that allows both LAN and remote connections to the application. Or, you can use a third party to host Citrix for you but that requires every user to connect via Citrix.

With Citrix (or Remote Desktop which is Windows only), the application lives and runs on the server. Citrix and RD run in your browser and display pictures of what is happening on the server and sends your keystrokes to the app to allow you to control it.

think perhaps you mean Terminal Server (which is windows) and which you would remote desktop into?

Sorry, I did mean Terminal Server.

Thanks for the links, CJ_London. I've been receiving several calls a day for the past week from clients who want to access their Access application from home, as their physical office is either shut or will be shut down soon for obvious reasons.
