Control the keyboard, mouse, and screen of a remote PC via a LAN

Can this be done with PB or even nicer would be that someone has some startup code to do this.

You need to write a client and server.

For the client you need some easy functions.
Something like SendKey() (search in this forum)
for the keyboard.
mouse_event_() function for mouse clicks and SetCursorPos_()
for controlling the mouse.

Dunno what you mean with controling the screen.

You can start programs, type, use the mouse
and everything.
The server sends an internal command to the remote PC
(you can do this like you want, network functions are in PB),
and the client(s) receive this "command", interpret it
and do the stuff requested.

Yes, I know that there are other programs, we use ourselfs for demonstration purposes remote control (very good).

It takes over also the screen, so we can see what the user can see and can do.

The reason that i want to make it myself is that when buying this the price voor 200 users in our company cost ($ 4000 )

Hi.

Like Tranquil said, you should have a look at WinVNC by AT&T.

http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

It is free and I find it very stable. You would generally use it behind a firewall.

I support an office of 60 Windows 2000 PC's. Each one runs VNC as a service. I never need to install a viewer because the host program provides a java applet. I can sign into a user's PC using a webbrowser from any PC on the network.

It is very stable. Yes I know I already said that, but after having supported a much smaller office using PCAnywhere32...
