Jiri, i did that once. Now, i backup the files as needed on a 2nd and 3rd
harddrive (yep, had several hd failures too), and copy the files to the 2nd
puter with a zip drive from the backup files on hd #2, not from the original
files, not from the 3rd hd. I also don't let a running program have access to
a original database file. Computers have made me paranoid as heck about
data and their programs. Why not email the files to yourself at work, Jiri?

Kat,
off to install that LAN finally.....
