RE: [LegacyUG] synchronise databases
Paul it is a combination of multiple computers for me and also two other users. I had hoped with competition for features on different products ww would have had this feature by now. The fact that legacy are still using a mailing list shows I was probably irrational in my optimism. If I continue to use legacy intellishare seems the only option.

Re: [LegacyUG] synchronise databases
I havent used intellishare but had assumed both the databases had to be local or on a local network. If I could sync over the internet it would be a lot easier. I will look at it more when I am home and have a computer and not my phone ;) --- Original Message --- From: Mike Fry emjay...@gmail.com Sent: 26 April 2013 8:11 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] synchronise databases On 2013/04/26 14:02, sci...@outlook.com wrote: Mike I dont understand your reply.
