Is it possible to restrict access for VPN clients to a single directory in
SBS2003?

Perhaps I am using the wrong technique.

We have a remote site which needs access to some MS Office Access databases
but that is all. VPN lets them access all the shares on the server which
seems to be overkill and not very secure.

Thanks

Rich:

Opening Access files, (or indeed any database that is not client-server)
over a VPN is just asking for corruption. Better to use TS or RWW.

Make a security group called MS Access Only users. Go to shares on
server. Go to Security tab. Add that security group with a deny or no
permissions. That should keep them out of the folders. They may see
them but that is ok.
