Using the cloud

[ryetee]

Hi,

I have a an access system with 2 front ends and a back end. The system is used in 2 locations. Rather than have 2 versions of the system can I put the back end in the cloud (dropbox maybe).
What are the pros and cons?

Are they being used in both locations simultaneously? If so, DropBox will not work for you.

There are other options such as a web app or terminal service deployment but first please explain what your needs are.

There is an entire forum decicated to this on AWF (yes - right here!). Further that forum has a sticky post at the top outlining the options. Search before you ask.
