Subject: Remote Access to RI Web

Dear Colleagues,
My institution has recently begun a subscription to Standard & Poor's RI 
(Research Insight) Web database.
It is an Excel add-in which accesses data directly from Standard & 
Poor's server rather than using their CD-ROM
product, Compustat. We are currently tackling the issue of trying to 
provide remote access to our faculty and students.

I am interested in hearing from other institutions that are subscribing 
to RI Web and if you have been able to
 come up with a viable solution for remote access and are willing to 
share it with us.

Please contact me directly via e-mail at: tafurin1_at_scranton.edu. I would 
be willing to summarize what I have
found out on the list if there is interest in this information.

Many thanks for all of your help!
Narda Tafuri
