Diane Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Does anyone use LogMeIn.com for remote access to clients computers? I will have to access one of my client's QuickBooks files on their computer. They are using QuickBooks POS for their retail store. I'm not finding any convenient time to get on their computer and do the work that I need to do; so I'm looking at remote access. That way I can do my work at night, from home, after the store closes. Any ideas or comments? Diane Quote

Since it is internet based, I have to have someone at the other end to enter a code and say ok to my logging in. Do both computers have windows xp pro? if they do' why don't you use remote desktop which is furnished with xp pro? It is more difficult to configure but you can log in without anyone being at the other end. Quote
joelgilb Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Use a program called Mionet (at mionet.com) now owned by Western Digital. Had tried several of the others and this one seems to offer much more at lower price. You can load it on up to 5 machines simultaneously and it is the only one that you can actually load mionet on your clients machine and then let them have some level of access to yours while you are doing the controlling. This feature is a great way to show your clients how to access their protected folders on your PC. I setup folders for my clients, drop documents in their folder and allow them access to only this folder and they have 24/7 access. Have also used this to control my other machines, daughters machines at college to help them etc all at one price. Quote
