Bert, by the time I saw John's post and responded, you had already responded. You are fast.
I agree with your point about backups. I think that I can fairly easily check which of the two data-bases is being backed up.
I also appreciate your point about the possibility of corrupting, or losing, alot of data--if I use the Amazing Sync program.
I'm interested in learning about the solution you have in mind--which I hope doesn't involve going into each file and manually changing the item name.
However, thinking of that, perhaps I could get a program that will do global changes and just up the numbers of each item to 10 and above. I don't think that we've scanned in anyone's complete file--which would contain more than ten items--to date. I know of programs that could change file names--but not the name of data objects within the files...
BTW, what is PM (besides Prime Minister)?
The doctor is seeing patients today (Sunday is our busiest day) and we have a full house, so I'm on and off the computer...
Mory
