Need suggestions setting up temporary remote location

[Boaz Bezborodko]

In 2 weeks I need to have a setup at a remote location to process 
packages currently stored at that location.  I would rather not to set 
up a separate database.  I would rather use my existing system and have 
UPS labels and packing slips printed at the remote location.

I'm concerned about setting up a VPN to the database server since a 
break in the network connection could mean problems with the Filepro 
database.  It doesn't like a broken connection in the middle of 
operations.  To run a local process from the remote location I would 
need something like LogMeIn since I am running Filepro Windows.

The details of the current operation is that I import an order file from 
the customer and generate orders in the Filepro system.  A separate 
process is used to both print out the customers packing slip and a 
shipping record.  The data from the shipping record is then exported to 
a CSV file that is imported to UPS' Worldship program that prints out 
the label.

Our local Worldship setup uses one computer as a database server and 
other computers link to it as a workstation.

I want to be able to bring down a laptop, packing slip printer (a 
standard Brother laser printer), and a UPS label printer (OKI LE810) and 
print out the documents there since we need to get everything out in a 
timely manner.

Any suggestions on how to set this up?
