Hi Carole,

I do exactly what you propose to do. Using a secure service called
Dropbox to do the synchronising for me automatically, and it works
great. If you want to give it a try, here is a link.

Also here is an excellent article by Dick Eastman that tells you how
to use Dropbox with TMG.

> Question 1. Do I need to buy another copy of TMG or can I use the desktop copy?  I'll need TMG on two computers, but never at the same time.  If so, do they need to be the same version (our desktop version is Gold 7.00.0000)
>
> Question 2. How do I keep the two TMGs in sync.  Sometimes the desktop will have the latest info and sometimes the laptop will.  My husband is hoping to use a router with a wireless connection to let the laptop and desktop communicate.
