Stephen & Dave - Would either of your suggestions allow for true synchronization?
Dave - have you used Filemaker mobile in this way? Does it allow true synchronization, such that I could change records on either the PDA or in ebase on the computers at work, and records would get updated in both locations properly? Stephen - I've thought of doing something like what you describe, but it seems like a one-way operation, not true synchronization. That is, you can only export from ebase to your PDA, not vice-versa. Am I reading your description correctly? Jeff At 03:50 AM 5/21/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >I use JFile database on my Palm.
