Hi Don, A flash drive is for all intents and purposes equivalent to a hard drive. So for DP it can be used in the same way as you would use a disk drive.
However it sounds like there might be more to this that just the flash drive. it sounds like you want to have the data of an application access by multiple people in an offline fashion, and perhaps later synchronise the changes they have made. If this is the case, then you will need to work out how to create replicas and perhaps synchronise data, and depending on the complexity of the application could be quite a challenging job, as DP does not have an understanding of this built into it. But if it is just storage and an accessing a program, then the flash drive does not itself introduce any greater complexity.

I have a project come up very suddenly where my client might want to distribute a database of about 900,000 items to multiple teams of people who will be examining some related data and marking many of the items with a "yes" or "no" mark. Does the flash drive serve the purpose of DP's temporary drive? -- Don Friedman ProfessionalRecords.Com LLC PRS Data Systems 205 S Main Street Pittsburgh, PA 15215 412-784-1600 - 1-800-PRS-FILE 412-784-1615 Fax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dataperfect.nl/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
