Thanks, I was able to use the flash drive approach successfully! Yeah! And I have discovered that part of my local network problems were firewall related, now only partially remedied. My plan for future updates was to use gotomycomputer or logmein. My entire practice is at group homes, seeing adolescents in custody. I am the primary provider, a nurse practitioner, but I have a couple part time docs who go monthly to write stimulant prescriptions, and I have a billing/secretary person, all of whom will need to access the database remotely. No central office except at my house. So if you have ideas on the best way for all of us to access the database, and all providers to update it, let me know.
