One client is using remote desktop for their outside people.  When the
login, the startup program runs a filepro program which forces them to login
filepro.  They are presented a user menu.  When they exit their menu, they
are logged out of the system.  

I did not set up the remote access as my client has on outside company
supporting their system.  I am not sure if the user has the ability to get
to a desktop.

In fact, RDP login into a separate server with a lot of "horsepower" and
memory to run multiple sessions.  If their business continues to grow, A
Citrix solution may be called for as they may need another communications
server and Citrix products can better load balance.
