Ted,
Thanks!
Not silly...I already have a VPN set up between the remote locations,
and as you point out it is unusable for applications which use large DBF
files for storage. The throughput, even with 100MB cloud connectivity
speeds on both ends, is just abysmal.
I have tried using RDP in the past, and found it to be quite a pain to
set up with all the port assignments. It works well enough, but I didn't
think printing was included? I'll revisit it. (I assume you're talking
about Microsoft RDP that is built into Windows?)
Thanks again.
Mike C
PS. I've gone through pretty much all of the online-info for Splashtop
and have come to the conclusion that it won't work. Have moved on to
RealVNC...

I have about 50 end users that are in City A, and need to connect to
computers in City B to run an application that still uses DBF files.
I think it's a Clipper app, it uses NDX files, too.
And before anyone suggests other solutions (software) I have to have remote
printing, which seems to be somewhat rare...
Hi, Mike:
Let me make a silly suggestion...
Use a Virtual Private Network solution to allow the two Cities to
share the same network, well virtually, and privately.
I don't think it's practical, even with "high-speed" networking, to
share a DBF-using application over long distance. Timing and latency
could lead to pretty difficult to debug problems.
How about an RDP server at the City B with the DBF files? I'm not sure
what the license cost is for 50 seats, but I know remote printing
works fine.
