Remote desktop software

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.

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

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. Which ones are better,
prices
etc....
- free ones (how tough to setup)

Maybe give me your top 3 choices for someone who has nothing in place but
needs to run a Microsoft Access application while on the road three
states
away.

Appreciate any advice I could get.

Tom,

What would you recommend if I needed more than 1 user logged in per machine?

I can see scenarios will my clients will need that.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks like that one is about $100/user and supports multiple operating
systems which sounds pretty good!
I'll check it out.

Thanks for the advice,
Mark

FYI: winconnect works pretty good (based on a few tests). However, I didn't
get much help from their support staff.

Probably only a few weeks to convert the app to using SQL Server via
linked tables. Then a few more weeks once the app is running to
debottleneck the things that still take 10 or 30 seconds.

Don't go to ADPs as that is deprecated technology.
