SW and offline network drives

[phreaq]

My company has set up the SW toolbox to look to our server to pull all the info, allowing us to manage the toolbox easier.

I used XP to make this toolbox folder 'available offline' and made sure SW is still pointing to the server address.

However, when I am offline, I do not get any of the toolbox files. How can I get SW to see them?

thanx inn advance

You have to have access to the server, if you can't see the server, then you can't get the files.

Thanks Scott!

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the point of offline files then? This seemed like the perfect application for what I want..... oh well

Can you access them through Windows Explorer?

I'd also be careful about database changes in Offline mode if multiple people have write access to it.

Gildashard,

I can see the offline files, via the 'offline folder', found on my XP desktop.

As for the db changes, I fully understand this is a one way street, only ever opening existing files in the toolbox and not editing/adding them.
