All, Thanks for the help and advice. I am still trying to better understand the options. With our preliminary tests, it appears that Remote Desktop is MUCH MUCH faster than LogMeIn. In fact, LogMeIn at times seemed so sluggish that I am not sure that it will work for us. Is there a fundamental difference in the way that products like LogMeIn and RealVNC work as compared to Remote Desktop? I would like to go with Remote Desktop, but our network person is not in favor of this because of security concerns and lack of static IP addresses that are available.

It's excellent, and we set up the free version routinely on all workstations as my colleagues often work out of the house. Also, they often have dedicated workstations at clients where we install it too so these machines can be reached from our office (or home or other clients' locations). It can't be made easier to set up - takes a minute or so and works through any firewall and requires zero "special" things to be done. For more dedicated use, however, we do establish Remote Desktop to an in-house terminal server because of the local printing option. Some prefer TeamViewer which is excellent too. However, the free version is for "private use" only and we are reluctant to install such software for professional use. /gustav >>> marksimms at verizon.net 26-11-2011 23:25 >>> I think for your occasional usage, Logmein will be just fine. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
