I just found out that this years project wil be setting up a remote office location. There will be about 5 users at this location. They want complete control over all equipment. What they have in place here is Terminal Services and thin clients.

Our db is Access front end with SQL backend.

My initial thought for the remote office is:
High Speed Internet
Either CAT5 to each desk or Wireless Access Point
5 thin clients.

Using RDP they should have no problem accessing our network unless they can't all use the same public IP address for our main office.

The other thought is Setting up a Point-to-point VPN. My biggest problem is I havn't worked with thin clients until I started working here. I don't know what I would need at the remote end in order to connect the thin clients through the VPN. They don't want any servers or desktops if we can help it.

Does any one have any suggestion or thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Dan
 
Access isn't resilient to dropped connections so wirelss will be an issue. However if you use terminal services at the remote location, the connection is less sginificant since it's only handling display and keyboard/mouse data.
