When you open and edit a database file, only that file is affected. The file in Dropbox is a different file than the one on your C drive and the file on your ipad is a third one. Initially their contents were the same (you copied one to Dropbox and that one was copied to iPad. If you change the one on your C drive, it is different from the one on Dropbox and the iPad until you copy it to Dropbox which leaves the iPad one out of sync until you update it from Dropbox. The iPad app does no editing. It is view only. Tom On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 7:15 PM, Pat McGrath via < [email protected]> wrote: > HELP!
