Ed,

Many thank for your time in replying. I already use PCAnywhere to dial into clients and your suggestion certainly makes sense. But what if there is more than 1 potential remote user.....presumably only one remote user at a time could dial in otherwise you would need any number of PCs at base location to be taken over by the remote users. Also, George Allen replied suggesting using data synchronization using VFP COM - which I havent come across. Any thoughts on this?

Final question (!) Do you know or can u recommend any VFP training organisations in your area. I am looking to send people to the US for VFP training as things tend to be more advanced in the US than in the UK.

Many thanks again for your help.
