Scott,
You can use R:Synchronizer to sync your remote computers with a centralized
database.
http://www.rsynchronizer.com. There are users on the list which will tell
you about
this product, R:Archive and R:BASE V-8 "Turbo".
Razzak will be able to fill in any blanks on specific details <g>, and all
I can tell
you is don't miss this year's Conference! *queue suspense organ solo*

Dear R-Base List,
I am in the process of writing a major R:Base application for an industry
that I don't think is marketing the best products (or using the best
database). R:Base of course if my choice hands down. I have a few
questions some of you developers might know the answer to.
In a perfect world connecting to a main server is good from a remote
location, but we all know connections go down and cause operations to
cease. Is there a way to have a R:Base database local, but have it sync
up with the main database server when connections are there
automatically? In other words can any changes made on the workstation be
incorporated into the database server and likewise any changes made of the
database server be updated to the workstation should a connection fail
without a large amount of programming? I remember from the 2003
developers conference that a pocket pc can be synced with the main
database but I'm not sure how that was done.
Also has anyone used Razzak's document imaging? If so is it an
application that can be integraged into an application such as the one I'm
developing or does it reside totally on the outside? I would like my ap
to have document imaging but there is no sense in re-inventing the wheel
in the one R:Base would integrate and works very good.
Does anyone know if I could purchase a copy of V-8 before I get to far
along with the project or is it totally in beta form? If so does everyone
like it or does it have a way to go before it will be on the market? What
does V-8 do better that I should wait to develop certain segments of my
project in that when it is available? reports?
I'm becoming a big fan of Linux. Has anyone out there ran the windows
version of R:Base on Linux through something like WINE? I don't think
R:Base has released the native Linux version and it may not be real
soon. I would image that the combination of Linux and R:Base would be a
very stable and reliable product - but not free of course.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Scott Stanfield
