Remote desktop software

From: Mark Andrews on 12 May 2010 12:24 Access 2007 multiple people sharing split database Just looking for some advice and/or rough costs for some remote desktop control options to run a typical Access 2007 split database (using Access 2007 runtime) I don't deal with remote control too often. Example: - terminal services (how much does that cost rough idea for small installation) - web based remote control, can some of these be used to run an Access database while on the road by just controlling a computer in the office with the application. Which ones are better, prices etc.... - free ones (how tough to setup) Maybe give me your top 3 choices for someone who has nothing in place but needs to run a Microsoft Access application while on the road three states away. Appreciate any advice I could get. Mark
From: Daniel Pineault on 12 May 2010 15:01 Read: http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/Wan/Wans.html You have a few options, amongst others: Terminal Services and CITRIX. No matter how you spin it you are looking at a substantial cost! Typically based on a per user license. Before your delve too far into the matter, you need to speak with your IT dept to determine what they can, and are willing, to support. No point researching software they will not permit you to use. Also, in some cases, they may already have the software in place for other purposes so you might get lucky! -- Hope this helps, Daniel Pineault http://www.cardaconsultants.com/ For Access Tips and Examples: http://www.devhut.net Please rate this post using the vote buttons if it was helpful.

From: Mark Andrews on 12 May 2010 16:13 I guess I'm wondering how those web based remote control options would work? GotoMyPC, pcAnywhere etc... or if something like Tightvnc works over the web? So the user would just take control of a pc at the office that had the front-end db on it. This is for my clients (varying levels of IT support, usually none).

From: Mark Andrews on 12 May 2010 16:48 I tried out logmein.com the free version and it seems to work well. Can anyone shoot down this approach: 1. install split access db on LAN at workplace 2. signup for logmein.com and setup office computer as canidate for remote controlling 3. use whatever web broswer out on the road and goto logmein.com and install plugin and then remotely control office computer and run access application (as if you were sitting at your desk). If the local IT dept makes it so logmein.com is not allowed then it's up to them to use an appropriate solution such as Citrix.

From: Steve on 12 May 2010 16:54 Mark, Take a look at Real VNC to see if that would work for you. www.RealVNC.com Steve santus(a)penn.com "Mark Andrews" <mandrews___NOSPAM___(a)rptsoftware.com> wrote in message news:OHuPU%23e8KHA.4648(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Access 2007 multiple people sharing split database > > Just looking for some advice and/or rough costs for some remote desktop > control options to run a typical > Access 2007 split database (using Access 2007 runtime) I don't deal with > remote control too often. > > Example: > - terminal services (how much does that cost rough idea for small > installation) > - web based remote control, can some of these be used to run an Access > database while on the road by just controlling a > computer in the office with the application.
