From: Mark Andrews on 13 May 2010 16:09 Hmm, Many months to make this database so probably many many months to convert it to a web-based application using SQL Server. I would end up with a different product that might be better in some ways and worse in others. I would use .net if I was going that route. I would use SQL Server (not just to make you happy). I think I'll just recommend the user signs up at logmein.com and spends 15 minutes setting it up so they can run my existing product over the web. No $10,000 spend.

From: Tom on 13 May 2010 17:30 Sorry - outside my realm of expertise. I use LogMeIn as an administrative function, so a single user (me) isn't a problem.

Arvin Meyer has recommended WinConnect. I've not used it because I haven't needed to, but his recommendation would be quite sufficient to cause me to try it as the first choice were I to need it. -- David W.

None of the VNCs will be as good as LogMeIn, because VNC pushes pixel maps, while LogMeIn (and GoToMyPC, etc.) use the Windows graphics primitives directly, instead of shipping bitmaps (this is also what the Remote Desktop Client does). This makes them orders of magnitude more responsive. These days, I only use VNC on local networks, never across the Internet. -- David W.
