What is the best way to use AC in more than one office while keeping one data base?
I appreciate any input?
Anyone think outside the box and use a laptop as the "main" computer where the database resides and take that computer from office to office. Have the desktops connect to the laptop while in the office. Run a backup to one of the desktops before leaving and then take the laptop to the next office.
Fresh backup available in case something happens to the laptop and simpler solution for small office with one doctor.

Yes,
literally "thinking outside the box". I think the idea has merit under certain circumstances. For example, this would only work if your entire office staff travels with you (you don't want two databases going at once).
If you use Updox, you can basically access your fax machine wherever you go, importing, etc. in the satellite office.
I see security as the main issue, but it is not insurmountable. All those people who are carrying back-ups home on a drive (especially if they carry their Imported Items) have the same issue; I would think constructing a secure set-up on a laptop would actually be easier.
