Looking to Share your Microsoft Access Database with other users?
Using our Remote Desktop Servers you can share your MS Access Database with others and access it online.
If you database is currently only setup for a single user you will want to split the database. This process enables access to alert a user if the record they are chaning has already been updated so they can reload it before editing and saving it.
With our remote desktop servers each user has their own desktop and each can open the "front end" MS Access Application to access and edit the data.
How to install your MS Access Application Database on a Remote Desktop Server is a simple process.
- Split your database if you have not already
- Copy the to two folders to the remote desktop server (Copy them to a folder under C:\Users\Public)
- Now open Access by clicking on the front end file you just copied to the server
- You will see an error because the tables are in a new location - Click on "External Data" and --> "Linked Table Manager" select all tables and browse to the new folder location C:\Users\Public\....
That is it you now have an Access database each of your users can access via a remote desktop by clicking on the access front end file. **If you place your database files in a folder not under the "Public" folder you will need to change the permissions on the folders to enable all users to have the rights to execute your access application.

Host your Access Database Online for easy Access
You can easily move your Access 2019, Access 2016 and Access 2013 database to a cloud desktop (Remote Desktop Hosting).
Your Access Database can then be run from most any tablet or computer
including windows computers which have the Remote Desktop Client (RDP) or on an Apple IOS computer by installing the
remote desktop client.
With Riptide's Remote Desktop Server offerings your MS Access database is hosted on a dedicated Windows OS
you control and not on a sharepoint deployment. You can also install other applications such as Microsoft Office and Accounting Software as well as store and share company documents
on our Remote Desktop Servers.
Riptide provides a full Windows RDS/Terminal Server for hosting your MS Access application in the cloud (rather than a Sharepoint hosted option
or only the database files). Both your front end and backend MS
Access Application are online.
Install your MS Access application One Time for all users to have access online.
You only install your Microsoft Access Database once on the server for all of
the users on the server. This simplifies adding a new employee or
user who needs
to access the database as well as upgrading the access database since it is only
installed once on the hosted server.
Install and run other programs in addition to your Access Database
(included)
We offer you more than just Microsoft Access
online. In addition to MS Access you can also save files and install other programs you would like to
host online in the cloud. This makes it very convenient to access your programs
from any computer, share files, print to a local printer. (When you host your Access Database online you can easily work from home or any place where you have an internet connection. You laptop or tablet give you full access to all the programs and files you have loaded on the remote desktop server.)Best Performance for your Microsoft Access Database with Desktop Hosting
Access 2019, Microsoft Access 2016, MS Access 2013 will all run on Remote
Desktop Hosting Servers (formerly called Terminal Servers) giving you access
anytime you are online. Running your
access front end and backend database online makes for a very fast
and responsive user experience. This is because the data doesn't move
between the server and your computer, only the pixels for your screen.
Running the backend and front end on the same server also means you only install the
front end GUI one time.
We have 2 Access Hosting options based on your needs
- 20 or fewer access users - Virtual Remote Desktop Servers
are a good choice for a smaller number of users. You can also install
programs other than your MS Access Database with this option. You have a
dedicated IP and Administrator access.

- A Dedicated Remote Desktop Servers are a
better choice when you need more resources becuase you have several programs in
addition to your access database and more users. Dedicated RDP servers offer more resources: disk space, CPU and RAM for hosting a
larger number of desktops or hungry applications including SQL Server databases.
You also have a dedicated IP and Administrator access to the server. Some
Office 365 Plans can be used for licensing on our dedicated server option.
