You could have problems - what happens if they crash out (lose connection) in a session and have to log back in: will you have two sessions?

Is the 15 minutes of inactivity at the desktop or within VFP. For the former, you can check for the status of a screen-saver, although that might not be applicable for a remote connection. For the latter, a timer: if you are using forms, derive them all from a single class that updates/sets timer information.

Alternatively, you could write a fat-client for the user (with a data-connection over the internet) or a thin-client internet (browser) application.

I don't know what speed your clients are connecting at, but it will be a slow experience, most likely. You could try tightVNC instead of gotoMyPC (it's free for a start), but all will have to draw the entire desktop. I use www.workspot.net (for a remote Linux Desktop) and even on a 1mb line it can be slow.
