Well, there is always remote desktop and remote assistance (from your home machine or office machine). Or you could have a RealVNC server running on their PCs so that you can connect directly to them.

Given the knowledge you lot obviously have, I wonder if somebody could help me a problem I have had for some time. I have an Access MDB (FE and BE) running on a peer to peer network at work. The peer lan IP addresses are all in the range 192.x.x.x Sometimes when I am working from home, I get a call to say that user xyz has got problem with their database. >From home I can connect to the gateway pc using RealVNC on my home pc and work pc. The gateway has two lan cards. One connected to the Internet and one used for the lan. However, what this does is allow me to take control of the gateway pc as if I was sitting in front of it. I can, via windows explorer wander over the lan to the other pc on the network but only within the windows explorer limitations. What I cannot do is run an application from their pc. I can run an app from the gateway pc but that doesn't help me with the user that is having a problem with their Access MDB. Is there any way I can get control of the user's pc as if I was sitting in front of it? If you can help, it would be appreciated. Regards Max
