Rick, Syncing dictionaries is one of the primary uses of Boston WorkStation. Typically this is something new users have foremost in their minds, but usually they're thinking of specific dictionaries...charge masters, GL accounts, etc.
One of our customers, Ross Stolle of Avera McKennan Hospital, had the idea of a script that would bring up two dictionary screens, one TEST and one LIVE, and make one match the other, regardless of their layout or content. His script is reproduced on our Web site at: http://www.bostonworkstation.com/ftp/TestLiveDictionary.htm This works for a specific dictionary and requires a downloaded report indexing the dictionaries' content. It would be an interesting exercise to extend this script to multiple dictionaries. The primary addition, to Ross' script would be the creation of the dictionaries' index downloads. There may also be an issue with the order in which dictionaries are synched, since some dictionaries may depend on others.

Also, If anyone is using this process, How and when do you determine when to sync the dictionaries? We had a discussion here yesterday and managers were concerned with dumping bad data from live to test or test to live. I would just like to get an idea of procedures.
