And that's the problem! With DropBox on two machines you can effectively use the DropBox Server as a File Server on a LAN. Both machines would be able to edit their own copies of the .FDB file, independently of the other. However! Updates made on one machine will inevitably interfere with updates made by the other. Eventually, the file(s) is/are going to become corrupt. So, to anyone contemplating this - DON'T. If you must use two machines, you must ensure that only one machine at a time is running Legacy. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
