Working on two PCs on a network
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2021 8:47 pm
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.
cheers
