Hi guys, Hope some of you SQL database experts out there can help me, 'cos at the moment I'm going mad! I want to use ACT! 2008 which uses MSSQL on 2 Laptops, (Vista & XP) one is my own (Vista) and the other is a company laptop. I can't synchronse using a network connection between the two machines because the work laptop has all manner of hidden firewalls etc. so this is not an option. I'm really pi**ed off that ACT! 2008 can only synchronise using a network connection. When I bought ACT! 2008 I was told synchronisation is really simple. Can't use the Internet sync as this is only available with ACT! for Workgroups. I suddenly thought of the ideal solution; as I am the only user and I only want to use ACT! on 2 Laptops I simply save the Database onto a Memory Stick and use that on either Laptop - very simple, convenient and actually even easier than having to connect the two laptops to synchronise. You guessed it - bloody problems, I can copy the Database onto the memory stick and access it from the comuter that saved it. If I try to open it from the OTHER Laptop I get an error message that I am unable to open the database and to check my network connections, SQL Server etc!! Help, I'm going mad, there must surely be a simple solution to allow me to transfer the Database backwards and forwards quickly between the two machines using the memory stick? Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Charles
