>This runs under Win95 and allows script files to be constructed which run remote programs at the remote end including transferring files. It has a "synchronize folder" routine that "updates" the remote directory for the contents of the host directory it is working with, transferring only "new" information. Also, the speeds are enhanced by only transferring the updated information in a file, not the entire file. I am able to update a remote computer with a 30mb database daily within about 20 minutes. Works pretty slick. It also records a log so you can follow up on why a connection was not made at the "off hours" setting the next day.

Yes but it cannot update a dbf that has input coming from multiple locations, can it? If Yung is looking to have a master (home office) dbf which combines information from multiple sites (branches), then the updates it will need to be done programatically. Changed records for a dbf need to have its status coded (as an update, addition or deletion), then the transfer utility (SilverFox or ReachOut or whatever) can move the files. Once the files are at the target location, then the changes can be added to the local dbf based on the record status code.

The management of the two way transfers is the trick. A great deal of time is involved in ensuring data integrity between the home and branch sites.
