Guys,
Thanks very much for all your input and attention to these painful questions of mine.
But one last time if you know, does hitting that button now create a mirrored compiled copy of what is on both machines, onto both machines? So instead of all this cutting and pasting the first time around or any time subsequent for that matter, can we all simply hit the button once before we leave (now laptop has mirrored copy of what is the main machine) and then simply hit it again upon return to again update both machines as to what happened in eachother's absence? Is it compiling and mirroring on "both" harddrives each and everytime? OR, is it only making a compiled complete version back to the main server machine, so then we do need to go thru all this cut and paste stuff from server to laptop each and everytime we want to give the laptop the most up to date version of the main database???
Again, what I would love to have is the mirror version to once again take us average users (the human error factor) out of the equation. I get the feeling this is what is happening but in the vaccum of info it is hard to know for sure....
Again thanks much,
Paul
