Thanks Anna. Looking back on it, it is quite possible that I didn't hit the sync button. No matter though.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

It's definitely possible to edit a file in AccessNote and then edit it on your computer and then in AccessNote again. Here's how.

Put the file in Dropbox/Apps/AFB_AccessNote. Then open AccessNote and choose Sync, assuming you've already set up Dropbox in AccessNote. The file should show up in your list of files in AccessNote. Be sure the file is closed on your computer before editing it in AccessNote, and when you're done, back out of it to the main file list and press Sync. Similarly, if you want to edit it on your computer, be sure it's closed in AccessNote and do your editing. Then the next time you open AccessNote, press Sync before you open the file. You should find all your changes. I've done this several times, and it has always worked just fine. The only tricky thing is remembering to press the Sync button.

Best,
Anna

Neal, many thanks for this. I've been playing around with it trying to get it to go in both directions which is what I need. I was about to delete this app from my iPhone and just haven't done it. Now I can. Thanks again!

Alan

Keep a couple things in mind here. If you edit a note in Access note and
then sync to drop box, it will replace the file of the same name in drop box
if you have one there.

You don't have to export the file from drop box to be able to read it in
drop box. But, the sync is a one way sync only. So, if you write a file in access note and send it to drop box, then go edit it in drop box, and then go back to access note and sync, the edits you made in the drop box version will be lost. This is because access note always uses the file in the actual
app to replace the one in drop box. There may be a way around this, but I
haven't found it.

At least, this is my experience. So if you want to edit a file, make sure
you edit it in the access note app and not in drop box.

Neal

     Hi Kimber,

I guess you have to open the .txt file in DropBox and then push the button "Export". You should see the AccessNote option listed as one of the export
choicies.
But this is so easy that I guess you are facing some more complex trouble I
cannot figure out.
I hope my reminder could help you.

Warmly,

Mario.

Maybe I am just having a brain freeze because I feel like this should
not be that hard.

Can somebody help?

Thanks,
