HOW CAN I SYNC EXCEL FILES OFF MY LAPTOP ONTO THE NETWORK ONA DAILY BASIS FOR UPDATING PURPOSES FOR MY JOB? First, don't post in all caps. It's considered rude. Second, this isn't an Excel question (you could easily replace Excel with Word or Flash in your request, and it wouldn't change the nature of your request). This is an OS question. Generally OS questions should only be asked in OS newsgroups. If you have a Windows laptop, one approach would be creating a shortcut in your Startup folder with the command line xcopy /D /S c:\<laptop directory\*.xls s:\<LAN diretory\ Replace c:\<laptop directory with the drive/directory path of the folder on your laptop that contains the files you want to sync, and replace s:\<LAN diretory with the appropriate drive/directory path on your network's file server. Better still, if you work for a company that has a network, ask your network administrator how you should do this. They may already have custom software to handle this. |

HOW DO I SYNC EXCEL FILES ON A LAPTOP?
Thanks Harlen and sorry for the caps lock, but our admin isn't really an
admin, she knows very little about her job but thats why i came in was to help out with what knowledge i have. However its limited when it comes to networking and I am learning as I go. However I will try what you have suggested and I appreciate your time on this matter. God bless and thanks, Skip "Harlan Grove" wrote: SKIP wrote...

Generally OS questions should only be asked in OS newsgroups. There is an easier way built into Windows since Windows 95: Right-click on your desktop Select New/Briefcase Double-click on the Briefcase icon on your desktop and read the instructions [Basically, drag files into the briefcase, disconnect, work on files, reconnect and click the Update All button] If you have a Windows laptop, one approach would be creating a shortcut in your Startup folder with the command line xcopy /D /S c:\<laptop directory\*.xls s:\<LAN diretory\ Replace c:\<laptop directory with the drive/directory path of the folder on your laptop that contains the files you want to sync, and replace s:\<LAN diretory with the appropriate drive/directory path on your network's file server.
