odbc over internet

We are running an sql server database on a Windows 2000 server, aproximately
15 clients on our lan use odbc connections to connect with acces 2002 front
end. No problem. Then i came up with the idea to connect a home-worker via
internet, using a vpn tunnel over isdn. Somehow this vpn-over-isdn
connection is unstable, as a matter of fact only few records can be entered
before the connection is lost. Is this a limitation of odbc connections or
just a miserable isdn solution wich need to be replaced?"b.binnenweg" <bobby01@.nospamxs4all.nl> wrote in message

That sounds like a connection issue... are you experiencing high latency
from the client to the server? Also, linked Access tables are not that
efficient and not recommended for WAN access.

odbc link failed

Hello,
I have a windows SBS2003 server with msde installed.
I created some odbc datalinks in microsoft acces to one of my sql databases.
The links are ok end i can access the odbc links in microsoft acces on my
server.
Problem :
When i open the access database on my workstation and try to connect to one
of the odbc links, i getr the followin error.
ODBC-connection to 'SQL Server<servername> failed
Microsoft Access can't open the table in Datasheet View
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Hi
Your MSDE instance was probably installed without the network protocols
See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814130 on how to run svrnetcn.exe.
