Can anyone suggest a simpler way of achieving remote access to my
database?

Windows Terminal Server is by far the easiest approach.

Also, if you can wait, A2010 + Sharepoint 2010 is going to make it
even easier.

Without a server (web server or terminal server or SQL Server) on
the Internet or an Internet-accessible VPN, though, there's not much
way to do it, regardless of what back end you use.
