Thanks for the reply.  You have a point.  Bill and I have the free "Team
Viewer," which allows us to connect our computers.  It works great.
Just yesterday I logged into Bill's computer and sent myself his key
file (Bill is not computer literate, but he can update filepro with new
members).  Of course, I renamed my key file, just in case his key file
didn't work.

Back when we used XP Bill could easily use PKZIP to send me updates.

But the guy taking over from Bill isn't computer literate enough to be
able to do the above, without training.

However, the guy that is taking over from me is more or less computer
literate, but is filepro illiterate.
