As a temp work around, we moved the *.dbf files from one machine to the other, but we need a way to ensure that we each have the lateset version and are not both trying to make changes to the same file. maybe when all the design is done, your suggestion may work. However, it is the DBC etc files that give the most problem, as they seem to be binary and are not shareable. Annoying when trying to create a new view you need NOW for the form you are working on.
