Working on two PCs on a network

[alan_sh]

Just curious.

I have a PC and a laptop which are both connected to a shared drive (like dropbox, but it's private). When I work on a site on one machine, sometimes it will create a file called "<normal name>_<other machine name>_<date and time>_conflict.WBS" So, I ran a test. I started it on one machine, edited it, saved it and closed WWB. No issues. Went to the other machine started it, edited it and saved it - and closed WWB down. At that point, this conflict file was created with the name of the first machine that edited the site - not the last one.

So, what are you doing that checks if there is a conflict because from my test, there wasn't one.

This file is not created by WWB directly. But maybe it is related to auto recovery?
Tools -> Options -> Backup -> Restart Manager

Note this is a standard Windows functionality so I do not know how exactly works behind the scenes

Thanks, I'll have a quick play. It's no big deal. If it's Windows, my guess is that Windows hasn't actually closed the file (in case you want to re-open it) as an open command is quite expensive on CPU & resources (a hangover from DOS days).
