[Dxbase] Portable Operation

There are several ways to accomplish this but personally, just copying the 
database to the laptop and then copying it back is probably simplist. 
Remember, if you transfer it by way of using a CDROM, that after you copy it 
off of the CD onto the laptop and vice versa that you must set the file 
properties to remove the read only flag that is automatically set by 
Windows. Also, you might consider also including the refdata.mdb file to 
copy back and forth with your database .mdb since refdata stores things like 
manager info you change etc....
Cheers,
Jack
