From: Tom on 12 May 2010 17:30 The LogMeIn solution is essentially what I use to provide tech support to one of my clients. Works well. Sometimes there is a bit of a lag on screen refresh when entering data, but nothing too troubling. Downside is that you can only have one remote user logged in per machine, but that may not be an issue for you.
From: Mark Andrews on 12 May 2010 18:59 Yea I was looking at TightVNC, just didn't seem as easy for a non techy to setup so it works over the internet. I need to recommend a solution to some clients. I'm guessing RealVNC is the official product? I used to use VNC years ago. Still not sure which one works best, but the logmein.com was recommended by some computer repair guys I know so for now I think I'll just choose that one.

From: a a r o n . k e m p f on 13 May 2010 10:13 instead of using Remote Desktop software, you should just move to Access Data Projects ADP works great over WAN, LAN, Wireless spending $10,000 for a terminal services licensing server is not a good value On May 12, 9:24 am, "Mark Andrews" <mandrews___NOSPAM...(a)rptsoftware.com> wrote: > Access 2007 multiple people sharing split database > > Just looking for some advice and/or rough costs for some remote desktop > control options to run a typical > Access 2007 split database (using Access 2007 runtime) I don't deal with > remote control too often. > > Example: > - terminal services (how much does that cost rough idea for small > installation) > - web based remote control, can some of these be used to run an Access > database while on the road by just controlling a > computer in the office with the application.

From: a a r o n . k e m p f on 13 May 2010 10:15 well what if you want to copy and paste from Access to a spreadsheet on your desktop? Sounds to me like your jet database is the problem move to SQL Server and run it over the interweb.. secure SQL Server with a strong password and it's 'good enough' security for anything On May 12, 2:30 pm, Tom <rtmn...(a)swbell.net> wrote: > The LogMeIn solution is essentially what I use to provide tech support > to one of my clients.

>well what if you want to copy and paste from Access to a spreadsheet on your desktop? why on earth would I want to do that? Or are you now suggesting that Excel is superior to Access? > move to SQL Server and run it over the interweb Sure - show me somebody that hosts for free. Oh and that still doesn't obviate the need for using LogMeIn... I'd still need to provide remote IT support to the client.
