I use LogMeIn a lot and it works well over a corporate network to access a remote PC, not sure how well it would work the other way - never need to try that. It uses a HTTPS path just like if you logged onto your bank or similar via the browser. I find it super useful for doing remote assistance work. Just log on, choose the PC you want to connect to, enter the password you have set and away you go. The free version is pretty good, although there are more features on the fully paid up versions. Basically you need to set up an account (email and password is what they use). There is also a 'remote assist' version that require no software installation on the target PC. worth a look - It is one of the better services I have used lately. regards Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Tuesday, 4 March 2008 8:24 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Regional Settings Problem Do you have problems with firewalls and other gatekeepers? The couple of times I've tried to use Remote Assistance, it was blocked by the corporate network.

When we started the first 2 weeks or month was free so it wouldn't cost you anything to try it. I have worked with a customer in Bermuda with this service and it worked well. We liked the service enough to keep using it when we had to pay. It is great for those situations where some one calls to say something doesn't work but can't really describe what and how. We don't do a lot so by it by session.

He's a systems house in Brazil so he's pretty technically savvy. If I can ask him the right questions... How does LogMeIn work? How do I tell it what computer I want to log into?

It might save a lot of emailing back-n-forth. We use www.logmein.com and I believe that there is a free option available. Just a thought. Max ps. My PC at work "died" this morning. Delightful days ahead just to get back to where I was yesterday! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 8:02 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Regional Settings Problem No. I just got the email from him this morning. I hardly know what to ask him. But I'm going to summarize the accumulated list wisdom and email back with observations, questions, etc. Rocky -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: segunda-feira, 3 de março de 2008 11:41 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Regional Settings Problem Are your clients seeing the same thing in Brazil? There are multiple levels to regional settings, including the specifics of the decimal delimiter, digit delimiter, etc. Have you checked all those? Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 11:29 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Regional Settings Problem You know everything works perfectly on my machine EXCEPT, when a field is selected it displays American. For example, a field contains 2.123. When regional settings (and keyboard) are set to Portuguese (Brazil) is displays 1,123. And when entering a number whether I press comma or period it displays a comma. However, if I click or tab into a field so that the field is selected (shown in reverse video) the comma becomes a decimal point. If I enter another number in there like 4,567 it displays as 4,567 on entry, and, of course, after I leave the field. But if I go back to edit it and the whole field is selected, it displays 4.567. Any clues here: TIA Rocky -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: segunda-feira, 3 de março de 2008 11:12 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Regional Settings Problem No, the decimal format should work regardless of the regional settings. But if the keyboard settings don't agree with the regional settings, that could cause weird behavior.

It should be noted that I have never worked with any clients or users outside the geographical confines of Minnesota though. ;-) GK On 3/3/08, Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> wrote: > The format for the field I tested is Fixed with decimal places set at 3. > There is no input mask.
