Small Business Server (1 Viewer)

[ShiftZZ]

I need some suggestions/help

a) I have a database written in Access 2007 that is growing daily.
b) I need to allow a number of users access to it, both in house and via the web, possibly VPN
c) Number of users, less than 10 realistically 5

What am I looking at?
Software
Hardware
Should I consider SQL Server? ( I know nothing about it)

Thoughts would be appreciated

Depends
How big is database, how much is expected growth, how much data throughput, what features you are using (e.g. just "database" or are you using reports etc). If your front end (IIS?) is doing all the clever bits, swapping to SQL would be easy.

Remote access - why VPN? What is the front end for the users? Just browser? Then just publish that and keep it simple. Access User Interface? THen VPN.

Number of users? Doing what? Reading/Writing? What front end?

So not much info to give details....

Software wise and not sure how you use your database. If it is quite simple database then a sharepoint list might be an option. I have just migrated a database at work to a sharepoint list. Works a treat. Not sure if sharepoint is suitable for small deployments as its not my forte. I just use them as a tool and it offers, so much more.
