Talking databases

[Nathan Lehman]

            Hello all.  Here's my situation: We have two databases, one
real and one is for testing purposes (although the two databases do run
on the same file server).  Is it possible to pass information between
the two in real-time?
Now I know the perfect solution of the two databases being able to look
up information from each other in real-time is probably not an option.
Believe me, most guys my age have fantasies about being a rich
athlete/actor/musician with more adoring fans than one could handle, but
not me, I dream of an ODBC compliant filePro.  So since I probably won't
ever get either of those dreams, are there any suggestions for another
approach?  Anybody else ever done anything like this?  I guess the
easiest/only way I can think of is to export the data from both
databases and import them into the opposite databases.  This would have
to be scheduled and wouldn't be real-time but it is the best I can come
up with.  Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh, by the way, we run filePro 5.0.14 on a novell server with lots of
little windows 2000/xp clients.
