I would like my assistant to have the same text lightning as me. Would it work to store the database and stuff in dropbox? or on a network share (which would break when I am working disconnected from the network.

Hi Doug

TXL needs quick access to a database, so a remote database won't cut it. It will need to be on a fast shared drive, or a local folder.

If you both want dual access to the same database from different locations, you might consider using some method to synchronize the databases.

Hi Nigel,

which files in C:\Users\doug\AppData\Local\Xequte\Text Lightning should I synchronize?



Does the Database Path reg value point to just the datbase, ro or to all settings in C:\Users\doug\AppData\Local\Xequte\Text Lightning?

Hi Doug

All those files should be copied.

I justed tested it and it did work. I used Synctoy from microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15155 to copy them, when Outlook is closed. Sync will have to be a one way street, which is ok.

Now I have help not on my LAN. we can share with Microsoft OneDrive.


Can I sync my database to one drive, and my help sync it (one way) to their drive?

The attachments are what worries me, since they are on my W: drive.

I think TL stopped working for both of us when I used a non-default folder.

Do you think two different outlook users can use the same database?

Text Lightning won't support multiple users accessing the same database simultaneously, and also it needs to be stored on a fast local drive.
