I have played with some of the synchronization features built in to Microsoft Access on some a prescription database program. The synchronization stuff is a little scary. I use Amazing Charts at the nursing home all the time, but I use it through LogMeIn which works great. You just need internet access at the Nursing home. Personally, if I were going to use the Synchronize feature in Amazing Charts, I would definitely make sure my backups are up to date (ie daily which is what they should be anyways) and test it - make sure that encounters at the NH are incorporated as well as encounters made at the main site while the laptop is away.
