Plugin to Synchronise two FileMaker databases

[Jalz]

Hi Guys,

Another question for you Gurus, I have a solution which is going to be networked on a lan for 5 users, using FM Server 5.5 and FM Pro 6 under Mac OS 9. I have one remote user, who doesn't have access to the internet as he is on the go, however he would like to use my solution standalone on his laptop, and synchronise with the Main database in the office every week, when he goes in for a briefing.

Are there any plugins that would cater for doing this?I've been looking at Syncdek, but Im wondering if there are any others out there where I can purchase a developers licence? Has anyone tried this and know the pitfalls I should be aware of, I will be trying to sync approximately 10 tables.

Cheers

Hi...

I figured it out, by using the -GetYourText switch.

Could you explain what GetYourText has to do with synching 2 sets of files? I ask because I need to buy or write a synch solution and SynchDek is way out of the reasonable price range.

Sorry Steveinvegas,

That reply should have been to the message I posted earlier regarding the troi activator plugin.

I think Im going to stick with Syncdek, Ive downloaded the demo and been doing some testing with the demo files (a flat file) they have provided, it seems to work reasonably well.

Cheers
