Hi, I am just about to embark on a database project which will most probably end up in a VPN. Users (through a web browser) will be able to read and (with privs) alter the .db contents. More than likely it will be MS SQL server 2000 on a Wintel platform. What are the known VPN minefields for this ? Seasons Greetings, Paul Slater VPN is sponsored by SecurityFocus.com
