[Dx4win] Log Sync

[ON4AOI]

You are correct Mel when you open or use it from more then one PC at the
same time.
But that was not the question from Ralph, If I did understand it correct
He wanna use his last log from several locations but not a the same time
Since you can´t be everywhere. At this point I find a NAS much saver then a
remote
Server that you or everyone can access
