   I'll think on that.  Since you have an unusual setup, it may not be as   
   easy as it might.   
      
   I have an oddball way as well.  I access on multiple machines, using a   
   network drive to share the data. It works great, but when I have trouble   
   with it, I usually have to find my own way out. ;)   
      
   In other words, I would hate to give you advice that backfires.
