Say I am at home on computer A. I connect to my work PC, B. On B's
screen, I click on, let's say, MSAccess. When I run a process like this
and it hangs, preventing me to use that database in exclusive mode -
where does it actually hang ? On A or on B ? I mean, the process runs
on B and I send from A only the user's input (mouse, keys) and get back
the results ? If the process is hung on B, how can I kill it ?
CTRL+ALT+DEL only works on the local PC, and I don't see any MSAccess
in the process' list. If there's nobody near B to (maybe) reboot it,
does that mean that I can't really use that db anymore until I can get
a hold on someone there to go to B and clean up the mess ?

Thank you
Alex

Click to expand...

Using the Ctrl + Alt + End keyboard combination from computer A
will open Task Manager on computer B. You can also right click
the Taskbar on the remote computer and select Task Manager from
the menu.
