Thanks Whpalmer, but can't I sync to a server instead of my Mac's hard drive? I would like for multiple Macs to sync to the same database. It was actually working like that before--my macs just started to have sync issues...

Yes. You set up sync with the Disk option in the Sync Preferences if you are going to sync via a directory on a mounted server (or a portable disk you attach to each machine) instead of via WebDAV.

Thanks, I have done that, but only one of my 5 Macs can sync to that database. I would like to access my projects from any of my 5 Macs. Do I need to get a WebDAV server instead of using a server disk on my LAN?
Any help is appreciated!

Why can only one Mac sync to that database? If they can all mount that directory, and are all configured to sync with the disk option, they should all sync. See p. 44 of the manual.

I found a solution. From the one Mac that was syncing ok, I set a new sync location on the same server drive. Then I synced the other Macs to that new .ofocus file (similar to a save-as). All seems to be working fine now. Just hope it doesn't happen again. Perhaps the original database got corrupted.
Thanks for your input
