Neal,
I must be missing a step somewhere and when I find out I'll probably feel stupid.
I have a professional edition of Logbook Pro and I wanted to create a clone on my laptop. Somehow I cannot get there.
I have both desktop and laptop networked:
- I have downloaded patch 1.8.8 and run it on my desktop.
- I have transferred 1.8.5 file to laptop and installed it (my first version downloaded from your website). Then I transferred 1.8.8 patch to update and I have run both in sequence on the laptop to install 1.8.8.
- Now I had the same versions on both computers. In order to open Logbook Pro on the laptop I needed a logbook file. Through the network I found my logbook file on the desktop and selected it.
- I had an option (among other) to synchronize existing clones or to update. Since this is the first time and there is nothing to synchronize I have selected to update. This option, after last warning about possibly loosing data, closed the Logbook Pro software. Then I tried synchronizing but Logbook Pro closed again. Logbook Pro closed almost immediately so no data transfer happened.
- Next I created ?Dummy? file just to be able to open Logbook Pro on the laptop. I then proceeded to create a clone using the synchronization wizard on C: drive of the laptop form the master on desktop via network. This worked but the clone is only 1 kB in size (.lbx file). And there is no way to access it from the laptop.
- I thought I would have essentially two same files, one on each computer. I could power up either one, update data and after proper synchronization I would again have two same files on each computer (one file name would have ?clone? at the end).
All steps above were done on the laptop running Win 95 (desktop is Win ME).
How do I create or open a file on my laptop that has same data as the desktop computer?
Thanks
Jay
