Hi :) If the different machines are on a Lan then it might be possible to share the back-end and then any change from any of the 3 machines would be on the other machines too? Regards from Tom :)

The thing I dislike most about Base is to have to open three windows to get to my form in the database. Some time ago I left a post on an Open Office forum asking if there was a way to set up a macro so I could do it in one click. There were never any replies. With Paradox or Access I was able to go to the form by just opening the program. But what I really like about Base is I just have 1 file to copy to keep my database updated on my three other computers. When I say "if it ain't broken, don't fix it", I've never had one issue using Base. It has worked very well for me over a long period (7 or 8 years) of time. There are few programs I've ever used that have had that kind of dependability. Don On 09/17/2011 06:30 PM, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Thanks Don.
