To BK users Because Dropbox caused problems with some extra files that BK uses, I moved a lot of the extra files to the TEMP folder a few months ago. Most of them were temp files such as those used when sorting an index, etc. In the process, the BKAUDIT.TXT file was also placed in TEMP However, I did some more testing and it looks like BKAUDIT.TXT will work correctly in the Dropbox folder, so in the next update I will change the program to put BKAUDIT.TXT in the data folder again, even if it is in Dropbox.

That's good, John. Then the bkaudit.txt file should capture the changes made by any/all of the computer(s) that are using the dropbox data folder. Is that correct?
