I finally got my laptop and server interacting.. while my IT guy was doing this I had 10 encounters that I needed to chart. I wanted to take the laptop home to do them; however, when I try to start up AC it reports it is unable to find server/databses. It there a way to take laptop off site use it, back it up, and restore it to main computer the next day...I apologize if this topic has been "beat to death" but was unable to find answer to that particular issue
