Thank you Richard. It worked very well, but I want it to operate the other way around. I mean, while in the RDP session in the server, I could open a DBF file in a shared folder on my computer. That is fine and I did not know it was so easy.
But my idea is to be able to access _the server files with my VFP application_. The real scenario is a store trying to read a file from the Head Office server, located elsewhere in town. I thought, based on your example, that this could be done without using a VPN. Is it possible though? And if so, how?
