Tom: You might also take a look at Go-Global from GraphOn (graphon.com)
which is somewhat like Remote Desktop or Citrix, but is very easy to
setup and also does not require a "server" for smaller offices (up to 10
users on a desktop) and very easy to maintain. It is application
virtualization, and the end-user will see a small menu of apps that
you've "published" when they login. When they run your R:base app it
will appear just like it does locally and this is an extremely easy way
to web-enable applications. We have a couple of clients running this
with various database applications, and our in-house compiled R:base
application runs well with it. The vendor also has an iPad client
which works well and an Android client coming soon.

Thanks for the info. This project keeps drifting into new knowledge
territory for me. Your suggestions are what I am looking for.

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.

After several years of running our in-house, wired system, we are
headed out the door into the real world with 4-5 sites away from our
main facilities and multiple wireless laptops. 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.
