I cannot give them a method of using data to build it. ODB, Gerber etc. 
   
  Maybe remote desktop is the only way.
   
  Thanks for the input.

Peter,
   
  But...if he can access the file (as he would have to do if viewing it 
remotely) then he can copy it.  Right?
   
  I think your only choice is really printouts or PDF of each layer etc.  Or, 
OBD...why not just output an ODB++ file for him to review?
   
  Regards,
   
  Austin

    He can then use the database and build it somewhere else. I am trying to 
protect IP. They have Allegro. Hard to explain on here, but I need to keep the 
data in our hands.

  Peter,
   
  So if your customer is only going to be using the viewer? send him the .brd 
file. He can?t change anything with the viewer anyway, it?s only a copy you 
still have master data? I don?t see the problem or need for remote access?

  I need to be able to have a customer look at a BRD file without having 
possession of the file itself. As at least some of you know the password 
protection in Allegro is useless. My customer wants more than PDF files and I 
need to protect the data. I want the customer to be able to remotely access the 
file and be able to at least use the commands of the free viewer. Does anyone 
already have a solution or any suggestions?
   
  Thanks,
   
  Peter
