That works if only one computer at a time is logging. Imagine two computers. You sit in front of #1, log a QSO and save it. Then you sit in front of #2, read the log from DropBox, log a QSO and save it. There is no one in front of computer #1 while you are at #2, so there are no log conflicts. As soon as you have more than one computer logging QSOs, DropBox won't help you. There may be a way to make this work, but it's not practical. Have the log in a common directory shared on the network. Before you log any QSO, you must open the log, log the QSO, then save the log. But there is still the possibility of two people trying to save the log at the same time, so a QSO could be lost. You are much better off using a contest logger that is designed for networking. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
