Hi Clay.  I received this as plain text FYI.

Yes, this shouldn't be too difficult.  However, you'll
need to give a little more information so that we can
work out the details.  I assume from your description
that when you say "database" that you mean a "filepro
file".  Basically, what I believe that you need to do
is take the local one, and copy it with fpcopy.  Then
write an archive process from that file to the
original file.  

The processing will look something like this:

Then: Lookup tmp = origfile r=free -e
Then: copy tmp

Once you set up the output format and this associated
processing, then you can copy this new filepro file to
the server and run this process on just the records
that you want to copy over.

This assumes that you just need certain records, and
that you have a reasonable way of identifying which
ones are the ones that you need.  Also, it assumes
that you don't need to worry about duplication - Hence
my point about needing some clarification.

Good Luck
