Bert: Thanks for waiting as I had to gain some additional knowledge. The current IT people were not using a properly configured VPN/firewall set-up (my opinion and the opinion of a very good IT person well known to this board.) To overpower the problem the only solution from the current IT group was to try to increase upload speed.
Our company has decided to copy the database back to my site and re-install a server and go separate databases. I hope to be up and running soon. Sad I couldn't get the two offices to talk between computers in a faster way, but this is the best compromise. Thanks for all your help and insight.
