I'm testing that right now, Emmitt. Running RB 7.6 over VPN takes 10 minutes to bring up customer's menu on a remote workstation. Will be installing RB on the remote and see how the performance is. Why? Cuz there's an app on the remote licensed for that machine only and they need data from RB for it. Doug p.s.
