Hi

I have couple of mobile user and one of the mobile user with other accounting group(non mobile)uses MYOB(accounting program). Now mobile user have to work from home too(in same file say finance1.PRM)and They want that file to be synchronize rather than typing all again.

Here is what we want atleast to be happen
"What ever changes on finance1.PRM was made by mobile user while he was out of office can be synchronized with data on server and data should be update(according to changes made by mobile user)."

We have Small Business Server4.5 and winNT clients. I install win2000 professional and made MYOB data directory to be available offline(hoping that I would atleast get one way synchronization) but in this case I could get data to be update. I also try writing small batch file with "xcopy n:\*.* d:\data /s /a /m" comand still no luck..

I was wondering if you guys can help me?

Thank you in advance

Ashok

There is no built in functionality that would enable contents of file on the server to be updated with contents from the file on the client. This would have to be programmed etc.

But you can synchronise directory. That means that you can work on the file off line (disconnected from the network) and when you reconnect, the file will be written to the directory on the server (possibly overwriting older file). This functionality is improved in offline folders on Windows 2000. On Windows NT it is less powerfull and is available in My Briefcase.
