[AccessD] Controlling an Access 2007 EIS Application via RealVNC on the iPad - almost as good as Angry Birds

All,

I have built an Executive Information System (reports, graphs, gauges,
etc.) 
with Access 2007 that runs on a remote server.  Most of the data comes
from 
a SQL Server database.  The remote server has the "server component" of
a 
remote control product called RealVNC.

Last week I learned that there was a $5.00 RealVNC "Client" component 
available for the iPad.  (I believe that the "Server" component 
is about $50.00)

You folks may already being using this kind of stuff, but this was a new

adventure for me.

Picture this... sitting in the living room at night, feet up on the 
recliner, beer in one hand,  "Dancing with the Stars" on TV, fireplace
is 
stoked up (Minnesota), pretending to be carrying on a conversation with
my 
wife, but really controlling the EIS Access application on the iPad.  As
we used to say in 
the 1960's "Wow... far out - this is a whole bunch of groovey".  I guess
the 
younger generation would say something like "This Rocks".  

Anyway, being able to use this application on the iPad (and future
iPhone) 
opens up all kinds of new possibilities.   Admittedly this isn't the
ticket 
for an application that demands a ton of data entry, but for an inquiry 
system, it seems pretty cool.

The only problem is that we may now need to get a second iPad as my
wife, 
kids, and two grandkids are pretty hooked on Angry Birds  :-)
