[Dx4win] DX4WIN networking

[Robert Morris]

Greetings,

To me the problem with having two or more computers having control of the 
log file (*.dxl) real time is that
if one computer has new contacts logged and saves the file, the other 
computer(s) still have their current
log showing without the added contacts.
IF you use a shared folder to save the *.dxl file, when you begin to log on 
another computer you would
have OPEN the latest .dxl file to get the contacts added before, add 
contacts, save to the shared folder.
Repeat as necessary.
Easy to forget to do and then you have an incomplete log.
You could fix an incomplete log by merging the different files.
Easy way to be sure the logs are the same is to look at Filter/Count.

Take care
73/Bob

Not true! It all depends on how you configure Dropbox on both computers. I 
have Dropbox on my PC and Laptop and only the .DXL file gets updated on my 
Laptop. When i by mistake would make any chances to my SAVE file on my 
Laptop nothing happens on my PC because that is how i want it. Besides that, 
i always have a backup in cyberspace in case both my PC and Laptop should 
crash.

Very bad idea if the programs are open simultaneously.

There is a workaround to have a constant backup/copy of your files on a
second machine if you install Dropbox.
Dropbox is FREE.
