beginner attempting to attempt remote pc access

[Guest]

I have two laptops and one desktop. My desktop has Quickbooks on it. All
computers are running Windows XP home edition. I am moving the Quickbooks
computer to my home office and need to give remote access to my partner.
Does remote access give him the option to work in Quickbooks? Do I need to
upgrade to Windows XP professional or Windows Vista? If the option is Vista,
then which version? Since we are such a small operation do we need to worry
about a VPN connection?

Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Mel

Mel you need XP Pro on the Host Computer ie office.
If you get Vista you need Business Edition not sure which one reg or
ultimate. According to PCworld Mag.

One Free Option is VNC a free program you install on each machine.
