Bob, all of my clients use RDP or Terminal Services (TS) for remote connections. I have a land surveying company that even runs Autocad via TS and the performance is satisfactory. The problem with RDP is that it ties up a PC when you are connected. With terminal services you can have as many connections as you have licenses for, all operating simultaneously. I have one client that frequently has five simultaneous TS users active on one IP address. In most cases the performance is excellent when running RBASE. However, I do have a couple of forms in my applications that are very slow when running via TS or RDP. Those are forms that include scrolling regions with a lot of EEPs firing as you move through the fields.

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.
