I'm a Johnny come lately to this discussion, but there are many ways to let
someone else take remotely control of you computer. Logmeincom is one of
these. All it requires is a secure way to communicate passwords etc
between people after setting up the (free) software on both machines.

Just be sure to remove the software and/or the username/password combo
afterwards to make sure this does not become a way to let strangers in.

John,

I have learned a great deal about Q10 since this thread started. In
my very first post, I had no idea why his VIEW menu was different than
mine. I learned after many trial and errors, and during my
"exploration phase" that the VIEW menu was somewhat driven by how you
have set your "On Start Up Open Up To".

Sorry this first post of mine was misleading to you. I think if you
knew the VIEW menu changed based on where you start up Q10, your
response as quoted below is misleading.

"I have yet to read of a Q2010 user (other than you) whose "View"
menu did not offer the choices of "Classic menus" and "Standard
menus". If you do not see those options, I would suspect a faulty
installation."

None-the-less....this small problem is fixed....and I thank you and
all who contributed for that.

This sounds like a great idea. I am curious about the
security....because we are talking about quicken....all the account
numbers, etc, etc. I understand you said to remove the passwords/
usernames, and software when we are finished; However is there any
secuity concern during the session?

This sounds like a great idea, as this friend calls ALOT! Thanks for
a possible new avenue!

Security is always a concern. I am NOT an expert, so I try to do my own
security measures. Principally, practice safe hex. Keep your usernames
and passwords diverse and secure. Apart from that - I hope no one steals
my computer.

This is what Logmein says:

You're right, but it was not intentional; as it turns out, I had seen the
behavior once but forgot about it when I replied to your first post. When
I confirmed your reply for myself in Q2010, was when I recalled seeing it
before.

Sorry for the incorrect initial response.
