I will say yes from a version 1.0 frame of mind. I have heard that it gets better with Win2008 but I have no experience with it. I do know that the Admin team can set this up for you or in most cases it was never thought about from their POV. I am looking from the laptop that leaves the network/campus and exists away. My documents are populated and synced when you reattach later. If you open up a VPN then you are in real time as well. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
