Brian,
I copy the entire AC folder every night as my backup so I'm feeling a bit uneasy here as to what to copy and paste. So what folders in particular are you copying to the laptop??? It was stuck in my head that I should be concerned about 6 folders but now I'm wondering. Here's what I was thinking after looking in my main AC folder on the tower/server.
1) Amazingcharts. mdb
2) Amazingmeds. mdb
3) codes.mdb
4) import.mdb
5) schedule.mdb
Now what about the manilla folder with the imported items themselves??? What if either office or field ran an AC supported test like we have the Midmark ECG that Nancy could travel with. Where are those stored and are they part of Sync? What if theoretically someone did one here in office while the laptop was away. I gather that wouldn't be as messy but you get my point. What if Nancy wanted to look at an ECG while charting at home or reviewing things for whatever reasons?
I went to do it and then I got a bit concerned to do it on a Friday night when there will be no support in the office in RI all weekend long. I sure wish that the feature itself would grab what you needed for you. Kind of like, Sync or Copy main database to laptop button; then a re-sync laptop to main database button for you to use when you return. Take the idiot (me) out of the equation.
But I just thought about this... Perhaps we are looking at this all wrong. If the thing can Sync in one direct doesn't it really Sync in both directions??? Might we really be supposed to be hitting the same button twice??? Think about it, it what it does is a parity check (perhaps wrong term but stick with me) in terms of comparing what is on both machines and then adding to either one what it does not have from it's other, than should we not be using the Sync button to do the first transfer copy to the outgoing laptop to tranfer the main database into it's files??? Then upon return of the laptop to the office, do it again to get them to both have eachothers' data? Do you get where I am going with this???
Again, this is why a decent set of instructions would solve just about anything and everything. Please let me know what you think.
Anyway, wife and kids are waiting for Daddy for family movie night at their school, so let me run.... Have a great weekend all. I've got lots of games. Watch out knees, here comes trouble.
