BCM - Sharing data in a network Notlev 4/10/2007 7:36:01 PM Hello there. I'm new to BCM and I find it fantastic. I'm used to work with a third party product that only gives me half the features that BCM does. My only problem (so far) is to share data with my collegue. We run a very small company with two (2) laptops and an old PC as file/print server. I understand that I can use the Admin tool to put a database on this server, and that we both can work on the same database. My question is; "What happens when we get offline?" Is there no sync between the server version and our local versions? Is there a solution that any of you know off (Microsoft or third party)? Best regards, Henrik Notev

We create a local copy of your shared db, for use when roaming. Any changes down to this "offline" database, will get transfered back to the shared db once you reconnect. Any conflicts in the data change will take you into our conflict resoultion dailogs. -- -- Jerry Blake [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "Notlev" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello there. > > I'm new to BCM and I find it fantastic.

RE: BCM - Sharing data in a network Samvnw51 4/11/2007 12:10:01 PM It does what you need already. When your PC connects to a remote BCM db, it still maintains a synched local copy for offline use. If you work off line, it synchs up with the remote db when you get back on the network. We've been testing it and it works.
