Thx David, but I wasn't asking about limiting access to a database, but rather how to set things up so that users at a branch office can have read/write access to a database located at the main office. The branches are connected to the Net with ADSL, and a VPN is already up and running between the branches and the main office.
Guess I'll forget about the replication solution as it seems overly complicated and risky, and test transactions in the hope that if the connection goes down, MySQL will just forget about the whole thing and let users give it another shot once their connection is back up.
>> This list is not a great place to ask about Firebird.
But then, since I'm wondering whether to use MySQL or FireBird, they'll probably tell me the same thing over at the FB mailing list :-)
Thank you anyway Fred.
