I'll try that, seems to solve my problem (although next problem I don't have a static IP). But what I mean is that more and more things are shared, i.e. google docs for collaborate work on papers. That last lab I worked the (endnote) library was shared/altered within the lab as a file over the local network. I think more and more labs would like to share libraries over the internet since you could also access it from home and add/alter entries. You'd have your/the lab library always in hand. I suppose implementing this is quite complicated but it might be a 'big' feature in the long run. -- Armin Goralczyk, M.D. Dept. of General Surgery University of Göttingen Göttingen, Germany http://www.chirurgie-goettingen.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
