I have been using the software and it is working great, but now I want to put it on another machine so I can update my catalog from 2 locations. The only problem is I can't seem to get my info on the second machine so I can use it. I know it is something stupid that I am not doing I just can't seem to get it.

First I burned a copy from the other comp. and put it on.

Is the a way I can install the software and then let it update itself with my catalog info?

Please help any and all info will be appreciated.

to get a working copy on machine 2, you must install catalog, patch it, then copy site1 over.

you will have to copy actiniccatalog.mdb from one machine to the other each time you swap machines!!

I have catalog running on 2 pc's, so that the staff at our shop can download orders if need be. I just took a 'SNAPSHOT' of site 1 and then uploaded that onto the shop pc. I regulary take a snapshot and update the shop site, so that both pc's are in sync. So this acks as a back up as well.

Hope you have things working ok now.

You are only able to update the site from one PC at a time I'm afraid, but you can upload from one and download from the other.
