MS Access for Internet sharing among Users
There are many ways to share desktop Microsoft Access for multiple users' simultaneous access. I am not talking here about sharing MS Access in the same network. I need to share it among several users outside my network. What is the cost-effective solution that I can use, and how? I tried using SQL Server to share the MS Access tables, but kept having several technical problems, as some MS Access codes are not so compatible. Any idea what other solutions that I can use at a very low cost? I don't want to jump into expensive solutions. Any help?

MS LTSC office 2024 downgarde Office Deployment Tool can be downloaded to version 2016?
I searched for information and found that Microsoft's official documentation states'Some customers who have rights to more recent versions of Office LTSC suites might want to continue using prior versions of those suites. This is permitted for Office LTSC under desktop application licenses and is known as a “downgrade right.” Customers may downgrade to earlier versions of the Office software products, but only to the same edition of software product for which their device is licensed. That is, a customer may not downgrade from Office LTSC Standard 2024 to Office Professional Plus 2019. ',
