2 computers - 1 monitor, keyboard, and mouse

A relative of mine has two computers they are trying to network. They would like to be able to have the two computers but only have one monitor, keyboard, and mouse. One computer is a Dell that is a few years old and has Windows XP. The other is a Compaq that is about four months old and has Windows Vista. They want to control the XP machine with the Vista one. They want to be able to run all the programs and stuff. I know Windows has a remote access program, but am not sure if it is sufficient in this case. Is it even possible to do?
