How do I keep two copies of my database in sync using TntSync?

Does anyone know if this method would work if your main copy is kept on Apple's MobileMe? I'm thinking of using a "cloud" to hold our main copy, and then have my wife and I sync to that, but not sure if it will work...

Just wondering if you tried this and if it worked.

My wife & I have been using this method for a few years, each with our own laptops & using a flash drive as our main db.  Unfortunately we see a pattern of losing various history & task entries when we both make changes to the copy on our computers & then sync to the main db.  Any thoughts?

Hi Paul, I've been using TntSync for years also, but I've never run into this problem.  I have seen staff w/ multiple copies of their databases, and they sometimes work in the wrong database.  This would create the appearance of lost history/task entries, when in reality they were made in another database.

Will this work cross platform between Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard. At my office I operate on a Window 7 machine but my laptop is Mac. Thanks.

Yes, Dropbox works on both Windows and Mac.  So it's a great solution for keeping your TntMPD database in sync between your PC and Mac.

I successfully copied our database from my husbands computer (C drive) to a USB Flash (E Drive), then to my computer. I made changes on my computer and am having trouble getting them from my computer to the flash drive and on to his computer. I think I am making a mistake in the 'Add' 'TNT Database' options. And choosing the wrong drives. Any advice?

Use Windows Explorer (My Computer) and find both your databases.  In TntMPD, under the "Help" menu, click on "View System Info" to see where your current database file is.  Then just make sure it matches in TntSync.
