Re: Running app over Internet with TS

Markus,

I think you misunderstood how Terminal Services work - simply put,
they redirect the server computer's screen to the client computer.
This has nothing to do with the web or browsers.

To use Terminal Services, you need a Windows Server OS, TS licenses
(called TS CALs) and a licensing server or service. At the most basic
level you need one dedicated server. That server could host (depending
on the hardware) probably 40-50 different user sessions. Each session
corresponds to one user seeing the server's desktop and being able to
use the server's programs.

If I understood you correctly you are looking for a way to make your
MS Access application accessible over the internet. Terminal Services
are probably not the best way to do that. Unfortunately the only way I
can think of is to rewrite your app in such a way that it works as a
Web Application that can be hosted by a Web Server (along with a DB).

I hope this clears things up.

I would like to use Terminal Services (TS) to allow users to run an MS Access
application over the Internet from their Internet browser, if possible. If
not, then can TS provide me with an option to run the app over the Internet
in some other way?

I need some beginner help on how I can set up and test my app to be used in
this way before I offer it to my clients. E.G., I have an Apache Web server
running under Windows XP Home, will I need to upgrade to XP Pro to use
Terminal Services? Can Terminal Services provide a solution that can have
users run my app in their browser, or will each remote user be required to
have Terminal Services and XP Pro on their machine to connect? What will I
need to set up to fully test this internet option for running my app?

Any and all help very much appreciated,
Mark
