thanks, CDUCC, for the suggestion.
I just tried the dashboard but I also find it to be unreliable for 2 reasons
1) everytime I check it, it keeps saying "The host computer keyboard and mouse are currently active. Initiate chat with user » " But that I think is me. When I click on the house icon, it asks me to login. I'm thinking that login triggers this result.
2) In the pane bottom right showing "most recent accesses", that is also unreliable. The first time I looked at it today, it only showed that I tried to login based on the IP address shown. However clearly on a couple time today when I got on someone's opened apps & work were on the screen despite that pane not showing anyone being logged in.
any further help would be appreciated. thanks
Patrick.
