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.

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 "Tom" wrote in message ... 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. |

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.

: 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. -- David W.

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 "David W. Fenton" wrote in message 36.100...

FYI: winconnect works pretty good (based on a few tests). However, I didn't
get much help from their support staff. "Mark Andrews" wrote in message ... Looks like that one is about $100/user and supports multiple operating systems which sounds pretty good! I'll check it out.
