Hi Thx for your answers guys. By locally I meant just a copy of the main Database, where you can still apply modifications, I yet don't want to have 3 different DB, but only one i can access and modify from 3 different locations in the same time. I need to load the modifications at least one time a day at the end of the day. Actually i can't affort $4000 of Sync desk even if i'd like to . I may have made a mistake... If i replace the 2 FileMaker server from the shops, by Filemaker Pros 13 versions, the office will be on FileMaker server, and then open Ports 5003 in TCP to the serveur? Is there is any chance to make it work like this? Thx Tom

Hi to all.  This is my first post and I do not know much about FileMaker . I will try to be as clear as possible to explain my problem , here's an idea of the network I plan to do:    I haven't done anything yet because I would like to have you opinion before I start this project , any advice is welcome.  I want to use FileMaker as BDD for my business which includes: A main Office with a large storage space and two stores with smaller stock . My bute is to manage inventory , invoices, customer ID... from each outlets in "real time" or even by daily updated direcly on the main DB in the office.  My questions are : What happens if one of the servers is temporarily deprived of it's internet connection?  Will it be possible to work on the DB localy  and then apply the changes on the "host" database when the connection is back?  What configuration do you advise in this case ?  ( In the future the database will be linked to a website from the office).  Thank you in advance for your advises and apologize for the lack of clarity.  cordially Thomas Royer .
