[Dxbase] refdata.mdb Restore Question

[N3XX]

I use Dropbox ( www.dropbox.com ) to backup my DXbase files, as well as 
other important files.
Files placed in Dropbox on my computer are immediately backed up off site, 
as well as added to the Dropbox folders on the other 3 computers in the 
house.
It's simple to use, and free up to 2 GB.

73,
Tim - N3XX
