Hi All,
I have built 2 VB6-ACCESS XP, programs (ADODC component used). The software
works fine, updates the database and all, without any troubles. I however
now need to do something else with this. The 2 programs are identical, they
are built for 2 offices 200 miles apart, and I want the programs to
synchronize the data between the 2, automatically. The 2 computers do not
have static IP's, they however do have internet access via broadband (they
need to connect to a connecting piece of software). What I was thinking of
doing was building a piece of software to run in the background that would
detect the IP every time they connected to the net and send it to a text
file on my Linux with Apache server (not Windows, therefore no MS-SQL
updating, for anybody who was thinking in that route), the computers would
then detect the IP in the text file and synchronize.
Questions:
1. How would I build the synchronization part of the software???
2. How would I build the IP detection and uploading bit (via FTP)
software???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pickles.

Pickles, regarding the IP portion of the problem, check into Dynamic DNS
(DDNS). The service is free to almost free, works extremely well. It will
make the dynamic IP addresses a non problem.

Hi all,
I made a question several days before to describe my strange trouble of
mysqldump. But I still can't figour it out. Well, I just want to ask
another question whether I could just backup my databases by copying
the data folder to some place? Then if I meet some disaster, could I
just copy the backup folder back to recover my databases?
Thank you.

Hello Everyone
We have a third party tool which maintains its own custom

inhouse application which maintains a transactional database, DB2 also
on Server A derived from DB1. Since the DB1 is frequently updated the
synchronisation between the databases is currently maintained by using
views in DB2 which pulls in all the required data from across tables in
DB1.

Hello,
Currently I used Biomobility's DataOnTheRun for the Pocket PC. It's a
little slow, but it does exactly what I need -- and it does it well.
Unfortunately, now I need to have the same thing for the Palm OS and,
unfortunately, DataOnTheRun is Pocket PC only.
Can anyone please point me to reviews of such software? There seem to
be dozens of these kinds of tools, but no where to go to research the
differences.
