Tom,
To chime in on the subject of VPN, we use Cisco for remote users. They use Windows Remote Desktop to login to their respective workstations at the office. Their experience is the same as sitting at their desk. They also use a shortcut to the compiled applications. Personally, I login remotely through VPN to the domain controller server where a full copy of R:BASE (V8) is installed and I only experience a mild rubber band effect. I have no problem working on the database itself although I prefer to make changes locally and after testing, upload the changes to the database server.

Database itself seems to be running well. We will use a network specialist to help with all the hookups and security issues with combinations of cable/DSL/wireless Internet. The monthly service charges will not be cheap. Is there anything in particular related to R:Base we should be very aware of? Looked through the User group archive. VPN has speed problems compared to terminal servers so I am looking at things like using variables in views to limit rows transmitted to the specific rows needed. To get into our system a password is required and a computer's name must be registered in the database. Using compiled 9.1 64 (0103 updates) which drops unregistered users immediately. Our plan is to go slow, use my home and our IT guy's home as the initial connections, then move from there. Any suggestions appreciated.
