Re: MySQL remote access

Exactly wrong. Networks and the internet bring huge security risks, which need to be managed unless you actually want to be hacked &c.

MS Access can be a useful frontend for MySQL databases, but not on the internet---for that you need a web server and a language (eg Perl, PHP, Python, Java &c) that has a network-robust MySQL API.
