Greetings, To me the problem with having two or more computers having control of the log file (*.dxl) real time is that if one computer has new contacts logged and saves the file, the other computer(s) still have their current log showing without the added contacts. IF you use a shared folder to save the *.dxl file, when you begin to log on another computer you would have OPEN the latest .dxl file to get the contacts added before, add contacts, save to the shared folder. Repeat as necessary. Easy to forget to do and then you have an incomplete log. You could fix an incomplete log by merging the different files. Easy way to be sure the logs are the same is to look at Filter/Count.
Take care 73/Bob W4MYA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vanderydt Theo" <on4...@skynet.be> To: "Mel (ve2dc)" <ve...@videotron.ca> Cc: <DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN networking Not true! It all depends on how you configure Dropbox on both computers. I have Dropbox on my PC and Laptop and only the .DXL file gets updated on my Laptop. When i by mistake would make any chances to my SAVE file on my Laptop nothing happens on my PC because that is how i want it. Besides that, i always have a backup in cyberspace in case both my PC and Laptop should crash.
