G>>>> Is it possible to sync two or more instances of The Bat!, if they G>>>> are not collocated? IOW, if both machines are set to automatically G>>>> check for mail and there is a passage of time in transit between G>>>> the two machines, can they really be accurately synchronized??
rg>> How about a networked mail folder and two BATs that both reference that rg>> same database? rg>> If one machine is a laptop you would need to start your VPN and map that rg>> drive letter before opening up TB! of course... G> I'm seriously considering that option, but I'm having access problems G> with the VPN.... VPNs can be very tricky... Windows does have PPTP built in and maybe a good firewall router will handle the incoming laptop connection for you, no need to have 2 PCs 'doing' VPN, just the remote (laptop?) PC and the router get it on the local LAN. (If you have Qs here write me, I do this for a living.) What we are NOT addressing in these replies to the original Q is: What if the 2 PCs are accessing the mail database at the same time?
