I believe teamviewer is like remote desktop. It only allows one desktop connection.

Put it on my machine at work and went home for lunch. From my home computer ,which is on a wired cable system, I connected to my desktop at work within 5 minutes. My home computer screen showed on my work screen with all the shortcuts. Ran the work based complied R:Base database as fast as if I was back at work. Printed a 20 page report to our main printer at work with no lag. We are going to try several of these products. Still plan on setting up a secure network system for all the usual reasons.

It is application virtualization, and the end-user will see a small menu of apps that you've "published" when they login. When they run your R:base app it will appear just like it does locally and this is an extremely easy way to web-enable applications. We have a couple of clients running this with various database applications, and our in-house compiled R:base application runs well with it. The vendor also has an iPad client which works well and an Android client coming soon. On 1/10/2012 12:34 PM, Tom Frederick wrote: Claudine, Lawrence, Karen, AG, Jim, and Dan Thanks for the info.

They use Windows Remote Desktop to login to their respective workstations at the office. Their experience is the same as sitting at their desk. They also use a shortcut to the compiled applications. Personally, I login remotely through VPN to the domain controller server where a full copy of R:BASE (V8) is installed and I only experience a mild rubber band effect. I have no problem working on the database itself although I prefer to make changes locally and after testing, upload the changes to the database server.

Database itself seems to be running well. We will use a network specialist to help with all the hookups and security issues with combinations of cable/DSL/wireless Internet. The monthly service charges will not be cheap. Is there anything in particular related to R:Base we should be very aware of? Looked through the User group archive. VPN has speed problems compared to terminal servers so I am looking at things like using variables in views to limit rows transmitted to the specific rows needed. To get into our system a password is required and a computer’s name must be registered in the database. Using compiled 9.1 64 (0103 updates) which drops unregistered users immediately. Our plan is to go slow, use my home and our IT guy’s home as the initial connections, then move from there. Any suggestions appreciated.
