Answers in my opinion:

possible YES.

2 Windows XP Pro on office computer, XP pro or Home on your computer, if
using Home Edition need to download RDP component from MS.

3. If you are as new as you say you are Remote Desktop can be confusing due
to firewalls routers, etc. (trial and Error) and lot's of use of newsgroups
and MS website.

I use Peachtree as you describe, and it works fine using Remote Desktop.

Only problem on His end is making sure printer is setup for checks.
