[Dxbase] accessing logs using Mapped drives

Mon Dec 11 08:21:56 EST 2006

 I forgot to say that I also use the 'mapped drive technique' to do qsl 
work for the stations that I help as qsl manager.
I can check logs, print qsl cards, on the slave computer while keeping the 
Main computer active with my personal log.
(I keep all logs, both my personal, and logs for the stations I manage, on 
the Main Computer, with the slave machine mapped to the Main)
As I have far more logs than the Registration file allows, I no longer have 
to keep swapping registration files on my Main computer everytime I wish to 
work on the 'manager' files.
I do fine that doing an 'Initialization' from/on the 'clients' takes 
considerably longer than on the Server.
That's probably due to the communication via the network.
But to the fellow who asked. I only transfer logs in one direction.
I enter them on the Main computer.
I don't enter logs on the Client and try to transfer them to the Main.
The stations I manage supply logs in .adi format, I load them to Main.
But usually do the qsl chores on the client.
