This would be something he and I would both access along with his other associates. I explained some options like MS Sharepoint etc. Can anyone recommend some others? I know WebEx has WebEx office and there is also Hyperoffice, but I am not sure if he needs anything that sophisticated. Thanks! __________________ Doreen R.

Actually I use it to access my office computer from my laptop. You can see the desktop of the remote computer as if you were right in front of it. I am still working with the software in order to become more familiar with it before I use it with a client. I am sure there are a few others as well. __________________ Delilah Smith Caliber Virtual Services

They also offer a 30-day free trial so you can test it out. I have also used the remote access that is built-in to Windows XP. I prefer the GoToMyPC as it allows you to print to your local printer. __________________ Rebecka Melson ~ Virtual Business Services

His internet connections are spotty and he doesn't want to have to worry about me not being able to get to files and for him having to send them to me. Thanks! __________________ Doreen R.
