You can use remote desktop with 1 user per PC or terminal server on a windows server for multiple users (if you get enought licenses from MS) or Citrix equivilant. Windows terminal server effectivly allows you to do the same as remote desktop but on the server with multiple connections. Citrix effectivly does the same but with their own software etc, each has its own proponents. My memory is that the terminal server licenses run about $100 each, but you should check. Remote desktop only goes 1 user to 1 pc, but has no added license cost. Not sure on Citrix costs. You would have to ask Razzak about the RB client server version, not sure if it will run over web or not, but I think so.

I'm thinking of perhaps a thin-client or something like that. You create a mini application and compile it that has all the forms and reports in it but the actual resides on the remote server. I'm not sure if that is what you are talking about or not.

I have a complicated application residing on a server. The client wants others to be able to access this application over the web from off-site locations. A web app is out of the question, I do not have the time nor expertise to recreate this, it is constantly moving target! Solo.. How do I allow multiple (maybe 5 or more) users to use this application over the web? Will remote desktop allow multiple users? Is there a third party product that does this? Do I need a bank of remote PCs attached to the server for each user to access? A couple years ago, I was hoping that client server would do this, but I guess moving forms and data over the web is too slow. The R:Base application tools and forms are just so easy and superior. I have not seen a web app that can work like this. If I had the time, maybe, but this is too far along to re-write and have all the rules and form doodads recreated. Any ideas appreciated, I am speaking to a network guy tomorrow sometime and wanted some ideas. TIA Bob C Robert M.
