New user with actinic how do I get my site from the web onto my computer to edit. There have been two of us editing the site from different pcs

Thanks

You can't, actinic is offline editing, not online. All work is completed on the desktop and then sent up the server to display. All you can do is copy paste from the live site and download the images if any have been used. Take 10 minutes out and read the snapshot tutorial on my site, your setup sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

you need a snapshot from the other computer.
Then you can edit and update but it's not a straightforward thing, editting from more than one pc, in the way you are.
You definitely need to read up

Thanks would beeasy if we did not have a falling out with the guy who designed the site!

In that case you need to do as Lee suggested, cut and paste from the online site, save the images, buy your own copy of the software and start again.

can this still be done with just the client version? also how much does it cost to register a design with actinic

[leehack]

You can setup products with the client version as you do with catalog, it is the design side you are lacking in the client version. To register a design with actinic depends on what a designer charges you. If you buy catalog instead, then it's free as you can do it yourself.

Hang on a second Carl, I have read the replies and your responses and I think there might be a bit of hope here.

If you have a Client licence, then you can't be 'editing', simply updating.

Can we just clarify your original question?
Is the situation such that:
1. Your designer looks after the design of the site only.
2. You update the products/prices and take payment only.
3. Your designer has a designer licence.
4. You have a client licence.

If this is the case, get the latest snapshot from your designer and either use it or keep it safe. (Even if he won't comply, there is a fighting chance that you already have a reasonably uptodate version on your client licence version).

Part company with your designer.
Then, either engage a new designer or upgrade to a full licence and do it yourself.

If I were you I'd get a new designer.
If there are only minimal changes to your design, (and I don't mean products), then there shouldn't be huge costs.
