Have you tried using net meeting, then sharing the screen of the person editing with the on-lookers. There is an option to share the Desktop with the attendees in the call. They do not need the software in order to view it. If you are really technical you can also add sound to the meeting by using microphones on each workstation. Click on the url for more info at Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting/ Good luck. Our work uses it often.

I'm looking at a way to have two (or more) users simultaneously look at a network file and mark edits on it in real time, kind of like a video conference or virtual/net meeting. Essentially it would be like everyone gathered around one computer and suggesting ideas while one person executed them with MapInfo, but instead they want to sit at their own terminals and see the same thing. This is especially useful for others on the company network who are not in the same regional office. Would a solution have to be application specific? If all the participants had the same software on their machines (be it MapInfo, ERmapper etc), would there be a way to show a window of what the others were doing on everyone's screen? Just putting out the feelers, any suggestions would be welcome- Jason _____________________ Jason Adam Computer Draftsperson Monopros Limited One William Morgan Drive Toronto, ON M4H 1N6 Tel: 416.423.5811 Fax: 416.423.9944 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ���������������������� Jason Adam Computer Draftsperson Monopros Limited One William Morgan Drive Toronto, ON M4H 1N6 Tel: 416.423.5811 Fax: 416.423.9944 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
