Brian,
I couldn't disagree with you more, lol. -> Said with as much humor as possible.
The post three posts up would not be a rendition of how to use Sync. I had to use all of the examples and names of computers and verbiage to communicate with Paul AND me the comparison of syncing this way to the wiki way. The paragraph quoted below would be more like it would be. I will look at it more and come up with a concise method late. Part of the problem is, unlike something like how to print to fax, something I've been doing well over two years, I have not steadily used Sync on a day to day basis. On the contrary, I have trialed it in a test environment over and over. But, that isn't quite the same as "Beta testing it." That being said, I certainly still think it needs to be written in a concise and accurate way. I'm not sure if that is on the wiki.
The problem here is UNLIKE WIKIPEDIA where a general article on say HOCKEY is edited over and over until it becomes a majority edition that reads well and educates well in the best fashion it can, instruction manuals, however small, don't play well in a wike. (Sorry for the run on sentence). This is because it is very confusing as the instructions will constantly change which will leave users confused and without any confidence in it. Think about it.
1.The server's AC would run sync and browse to the laptop. It would then sync over the network to the laptop ALWAYS leaving all boxes checked as you may want to schedule someone from outside of the office and you would want to know what the schedule looked like. To me it just makes sense to sync the entire database, although you would not be syncing billing or the codes databases from what I gathered during my trials. That would be an issue if that is true.
2. Now that both databases are synced and are the same, you take you laptop to your remote sites. You can use either computer now, i.e. users could still use clients in office while the laptop saved data remotely. I probably shouldn't say remotely, that's confusing. I mean out of the office.
3. Bring back laptop, connect to network and change the path of the laptop to the server. This can be done with the Utilities tool, which by now should have a shortcut on the desktop. I prefer to open the AC application, then right click on the window that comes up near the top under the name. Choose to disconnect, then restart and connect to server. Sync. I suppose you could sync either before or after you connected.
