I mentioned exactly that in my opening paragraph. "not at the same time"
At no time did I suggest running two instances of DXbase at the same time.
I am aware it will not work. The problem, and I will revisit this as I
explained to Peter, is that the radio interface has to be changed each time
I open the dbf on a different computer. It retains the last setting. As I
said I will do this again as I might not have spent the correct amount of
time validating this. I will get back to all.
Joe
