Downloading orders to 2 computers?

[bust-ed]

Is it possible to download orders on 2 computers?

I have just taken on a part time assistant who will be working from her home. I have installed Actinic and my Site 1 folder on her computer.

Is there a way that we can we both download / process orders i.e. if I download 10 orders can she see them and vice versa?

Do our computers have to be networked - we live close so could possible infra-red...

Please help!

Thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn

I'm afraid that once the orders are downloaded, they are deleted on the server. So if your new assistant downloaded a batch of orders, you would not be able to download the same batch.

The only way that I can see around this is to have one person downloading the orders and then forwarding the Actinic database to the other person for them to import. There may be some way to automate this process if the 2 machines are networked.

I have a product that will email a copy of the order processing reports on to someone, this might be of use. More details and a free trial available at :

You can also use it with my Automation Tools to collect orders and process them while you are out of the office, details and free trial for this are at :

It seems to me that you might find the Automation Mole with order download and order processing and the Batch Order Processor for Emailing Orders useful.
