External access to back-end tables

[Lifeseeker]

Hi,

Just thought I would get some more info from experts on this issue.

I am going to split my database into front-end and back-end. The back-end will be stored on the LAN within my building; however, I would need to access the front-end from outside the building, which would require a roaming profile set up on the laptop.

I know that setting up a roaming profile on the laptop won't be an database issue, but will the front-end actually communicate with the back-end when I am somewhere outside the main building?

Comments/help much appreciated
