Hi, well it depends on how yoiu have them configured. For instance, I have a laptop on which I have CFTW installed, with the database hosted there. Great for when I am out and about. But when I'm home I prefer to use the larger keyboard and screen of my desktop. Because I have bothe the PC's networked I run a separate CFTW install on the desktop and access the databse on the laptop. Works a treat as long as you don't try to open the database fom both locations simultaneously. Is that of interest?

How does one keep them in step, does it need a program to organise the updates? I would be grateful for any advice and experiences.
