There's a huge difference in using a VPN to create a remote connection such as via RDP, Dameware, VNC, etc. so as to execute R:BASE on a desktop inside the location where the database is located, and on the other hand attempting to execute R:BASE locally with remote data no matter the connection type.

I subcontract for one contractor who outright refuses to allow file-server database work over a VPN; I'm not saying he's right, I'm just sayin' what he's sayin'... My experience with the VPN that the Wrigley gum people have installed is that it makes me long for an external US Robotics modem with the pretty blinking lights.. Karen Kren That was a blow under the belt! Upgrade your broadband on both sides and you WILL experience a new speed. I Stay tuned with the speed I have for time being! Gunnar Ekblad
