</div>1) William did ask about ability of VSERVER to watch not only databases<br>
folder, but any other location on HDD.<br>
<br>
You now concentrate on single-user aspect ...<br>
<br>
For single user app no problem open db from any location on HDD, including<br>
dropbox. Then what question is ? :-)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2) if to think about all this clouds, I'd try somehow split<br>
data and .ind files<br>
<br>
Data can go to cloud,<br>
ind is on desktop to reduce activity on net ...<br>
<br>
.tmp file is in tmp folder -- no problems here ...<br>
<br>
<br>
==========<br>
But again, for me this games looks strange ...<br>
<br>
I think more right to make some script which do synch between normal db file<br>
and its COPY / backup in the dropbox or other synch folder.<br>
