Hello Enzo,

Yes it is possible. There are a couple of differnet ways to do it. The first is to connect your remote client directly to your fm server over the internet. This requires the database server to be connected to the internet with a static ip address and preferablly a good firewall. You will need to open port 5003 on the firewall. On the client side you would connect to the internet, click the hosts button and then type in the static ip of your database server.

The second and best way, if you are running a slow or dialup connection on the client, is to use terminal services for Windows 2000 server. It only pushes video and keyboard over the network connection, so it is very fast and almost like being on your local network.

Good luck to you!
