In short, you activate the server in the configuration panel. On the client, you just do 'file - sync' and it will download the server database. After reviewing, sync the client again with the server.

Since it will need to do a full sync since you start from scratch each time, it will be slower than regular sync, though.

Peter,

The sync server might work for me... as each homeroom has one
computer.... so each room would in effect be a single user...

Does that seem viable?

I haven't seen much detail in the documentation on this sync server...if
this is a good option, how do I do it?

Thanks

Mark

    You could have a Mnemosyne sync server running on a different computer,
    but that is currently single user only.

    I'm afraid the USB key is still the most valid option...
