#9482 — It's not possible to run an Access application using something like this, right?

Could I have my clients install our 2010 application on this and they
could run it from wherever they are and from any device?

http://www.filetransporter.com/

We do have a client using Amazon Web Services but they are paying $250
a month for four users.

I wonder if Office 365 may work out. We certainly can't afford to have
our application rewritten in .NET, Alpha 5, ASP or whatever.  Not
enough client base for that.  And Sharepoint would be a total rewrite.

I can't speak to details of Office 365 (SharePoint is one of its
components), but it's an option worth looking into.

Another, if your clients are using Win 8, is to look into rewriting
your application as an "app" that can be executed by all those
devices. I don't like the idea of "turning my very capable PC into a
cellphone" and that's essentially what you'll do with an "app".

Interesting Larry!  I guess for that I would try Alpha 5 but I don't
think I could rationalize the yearly cost of leasing the software and
starting over from scratch.

I support the idea of using Office 365's sharepoint capability to
store your backend tables.  P1 license is $6/month plus tax.  All
users can use this one license.  You need to adjust your tables to
meet sharepoint requirements.  Then load the tables to sharepoint.
Point your Access front end to the Sharepoint to get access to the data.

This has worked well for me.

I've only used older versions of SharePoint, and only used the native
functions. But I have to log in; can multiple users log in to the O365
and use (incl. update) the tables at the same time?

Yes.  In my scenario, all users would use the same Office 365 user ID
and password.  If you want security by user you can build it into your
Access app.  That is how I use it.
