Yes, I forgot about that. This might work, at least with newer versions of Access. There might be a caveat, though: You can remotely use MS Access to access an MDB file on a file server. You can even do it multiple times, having x instances of MS Access access just one file on a remote server. Can a remote application register with the VSS service on a completely different machine?
