Log on two PC's??


pcooper
 

Hello all,

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the email I wanted in the files.

What I would like is to be able to access my log file from another PC.
I have DXK installed (and launcher) on that PC, and for now, I have just copied the GU0SUP.MDB file to that PC. This appears to show the log OK, but I wonder if there is an automated way to achieve this?

I currently have DXK backing up to a different hard drive, but (as yet) that drive is not shared.

Also, the backup file is not named GU0SUP.MDB, but has a date appended to it.

I am sure there must be a simple way to achieve this, but I can't quite see what it is yet.

As I said, I know this has been asked before, but searching the archives brings up hundreds of emails, and I can't see the one I want.
I did try the WIKI pages, but I can't seem to navigate through that. If I try a search, I only get lost, as the "find page" seems less than useful.

Any ideas?

Phil,



I use a similar technique, by sharing the folder across the network. I can use a copy of DXK on a separate machine, with the database specified on that mounted drive.



I actually found it easier to remotely control the machine with DXK on it, and let it run locally. I use either VNC or Remote Desktop. In my case, I have a ¡°modern¡± and a ¡°vintage¡± side to the shack and log from either side.



73, Mark

I have a master and several ¡°slave¡± computers. I created a .bat file (remember those?) called GO.BAT which contains the following commands:



xcopy "c:&#92;program files&#92;dxlab suite&#92;dxkeeper&#92;databases&#92;k3ll.mdb" &#92;&#92;cliff2&#92;shareddocs&#92;dxl&#92;*.* <file:///&#92;&#92;cliff2&#92;shareddocs&#92;dxl&#92;*.*> /y /v

pause



This file runs on the master PC and copies to one of the slaves. I placed the file in my Startup folder so that it runs every time the PC is booted. Plus it provides a small measure of semi automatic backup.



I also created short cut to the GO.BAT so that I can run it whenever I need to (like after working VK9XX!).



On the slave computers I just do a recompute in SC and I am set.

Cliff K3LL

You can specify a network Pathname in the "Log file" panel on the Config window's Log tab, e.g.

&#92;&#92;XYLs_PC&#92;C&#92;Interloper&#92;DXLab&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Databases&#92;AA6YQ.mdb

Just be certain that a log file is never opened by more than one DXKeeper simultaneously.

73,

Dave, AA6YQ
