Ok so what I'm trying to do is be able to access a quickbooks company file (which is at home) from a remote location. Another user on this forum suggested I use pcanywhere, my question about that program and a similiar program called gotmypc is i how fast are these programs or do they lag in time when you do connect from a remote location. I also would love to hear if anyone else had other suggestions. Might I add that I'm trying to keep this as cheep as possible. I know I could get a server and use terminal services or VPN however like I said I want to keep it inexpensive. Thanks in advance and I would love some ideas and feedback, thanks again.
