[AccessD] Access & Terminal Services

So "a" is not "one"? How many?

The Thinsoft solution runs off a WinXP workstation for a max of 21
users.
As no Win2003 server license is needed, you can hook up a workstation,
download the trial and test it out without spending a single pound.

At more users there is a break even at some point where a Win2003
server becomes cheaper than Thinsoft.
They work the same way so you can move your setup from Thinsoft to TS
with only minor modifications.

Thanks Gustav, but the boss here is likely to want to go the TS route.
We
have Remote Control working nicely for him from home, but for lesser
mortals, of whom there could be several, he doesn't want to have
workstations dotted around which have to left on and not used by other
workers, and other considerations. So I think TS would be right, but
the
question is whether everything that my app does (as outlined below)
will
work unaltered under TS.

BTW what's the license cost implication of TS? Must be considerable if
you
went for an alternative. I thought it was part of W2000 server.
