Hi all,
We use Laplink 2000 to access Ebase remotely and it works like a charm. We
just access our workstations in the office with Laplink and then run Ebase.
When you are on a modem connection it is slow but that is to be expected.
It is still better than not being able to access it if you need to.
Multiple people can do this at once. -- Maria

Hi - I all remote options for running ebase and found none of them very
workable if your database has very many records.
The real problem is that filemaker pro is not a good software platform for
remote access because it wants to hand you all the records in the database,
whether you want them all or not. Our tests showed the response time
painfully slow for startup (10 minutes)- once you have all records then
worked sort of ok. (the server had fast t1 connection, the client a 56k
modem), also filemaker pro does not support terminal services - so you can
only have one person using it at a time. Even if client has dsl, still the
idea of client having to download all records in database on startup is not
efficient at all. I wouldn't recommend any remote methods for filemaker.
the ebase program - while good - needs to be re-written in a better platform
for quality remote access. (filemaker web access options are not good
either - maybe ok for some things, but quickly you hit a limit with what you
can do)
