I've read the tweo other replies that are there at this time and just want to add one thing...

... Web Connect was mentioned by one and you mention a web hosting company. Just bear in mind that it takes special arrangements/concessions at the ISP for a WebConnect application to run there.
At least this is how I understand that issue and if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will say so.

cheers

There will be about 25 laptops, running Win2000 or XP Pro. He is interested in this as he wants these people to work at home instead of coming to the office, and he doesn't want the server at the office.
