Sharing Templates/Database on P2P Network gregeney 5/16/2007 7:52:01 PM I'm trying to share my Access database and mailmerge templates that link with that database with the other two users on our peer-to-peer network. I'm having trouble in that the link to the database needs to be reset every time a template is used on one of the other machines due to the difference in the database location. Meaning, it's not on their C: drive. Is there a way for these other users to save their own link to the database or another solution to achieve what we need?

Re: Sharing Templates/Database on P2P Network gregeney 5/16/2007 9:42:00 PM Not just the database, but also the templates. They are chenged from time to time. But if I can sync my templates and database on the other machines, it should give me the desired result. However, from first glance at the FolderShare information it appears that the folders are synced over the net? If that is true, is there any solution that would keep our data behind our firewall? Security is essential.
