Hi Mandy!

There are a few ways to handle this. First off, you can put an "updated" logical field in each DBF and set it true if the record is changed...and then set a routine in your system menu (utiities maybe?) to copy only those records with the logical flag set true.

Another way of doing involves offline views. If the tables in the distributed application are offline views, you can create routines on your end to resynch...but that is the more complicated option.
