Tom - you are always connecting to something - either a real PC as I do, or to a Terminal Server. The latter could be what you think of as a virtual pc, although it is more like logging in and running on that machine with the screens being sent back to your home pc. I'm sure I'm off on the details.

You can use WDSC if you have it on that machine at the office - you can be running WDSC on your home machine - but you can't save from your home machine to the one at the office - i don't think, anyway - unless it is set up so that you can see the office drives on your home machine - not sure that you can do that - you CAN make your home drives visible to the office machine with Remote Desktop client.

You also might not be actually on the office network when using RD - if there's a terminal server in the mix, you are isolated from the actual network behind it. But you need to talk to the network folks to be sure - i'm kind of guessing now.

Buck,
I use Remote Desktop Connection on my laptop at home. It apparently(I am not
sure here) connects to a virtual PC on the network which has the software
like client access to connect to the AS400. I then use that to do my work. I
was wondering if while I was connected, if I could use WDSC to connect to
the AS400 and upload source from my offline projects. Then work on them on
the as400. Hope that makes more sense.
Thanks for all the time guys
Tom

There's some confusion about nomenclature, I'm afraid.  The original
post was 'Does anyone know if it is possible to connect WDSC to an AS400
that I have connected to with Remote Desktop ?'  Remote Desktop means a
Windows program running on a PC at work that you connect to from a PC at
home.  You then 'drive' the work PC from the home PC.  One doesn't need
WDSC or Word or what have you on the home PC because one uses Remote
Desktop to literally use the software on the work PC.

It appears that you don't use Remote Desktop at all, since there isn't
any second PC in the middle.

So how does your employer expect you to connect to his network from
home?  VPN?
