Mirrored database

[Richard Kreiss]

Maybe the logical solution, but at present not doable.

But, based on your suggestion, it looks like setting the office computer are
the "server" may be the best alternative.

If I had the inclination, as this is not apid gig, I would setup a virtual
server with the filePro database on one vitual machine and the rest of the
office stuff on another virtual machine.

I currently don't have an extra machine to set up as a server (read donate)
for this use.
