I'm just getting started and would like to have my Projects and Backups accessible from both my desktop and laptop. Because of physical location only the laptop can "emulate" with my home theater equipment but, for the same reason, the desktop is in a much better environment for programming. The laptop also takes a lot of field trips for photography and mapping. There's the added advantage of automatic nightly backup to an external hard drive of everything on the desktop.
I have installed the software and USB driver on both machines with each pointing to a folder in Shared Documents on the Desktop. Appears to work and I can't find anything modified by the process except in the Project folders.
Before I get too far playing and learning is there any reason that any of you can think of why I should not take this approach? I hate working for nothing. :)
Thanks,
Bob

Being in the same boat as yourself i usually store my files in a folder on my desktop under the "my documents" for example "remote files". I then just use the network path \\desktop\admin\my documents\remote files to access them. When you wish to save them just "save as" and select the full network path of the folder on your desktop machine. i assume you are using a netwaork at home.

Thanks, Mr Mod. Yep. Home network hard cabled and wifi if necessary.
I can see that this is going to be a fairly long learning curve to get everything the way I want it. Each passing year slows my mental processes a bit more. I was "only" 69 in 2003 when I set up the AV3000 and I had found this excellent site and the superb review which cut through Sony's typical cryptic documentation. No such luck on the AX4000.
Amazingly I have not needed to make a single change to the 3000 and it has worked flawlessly. Now with the forced switch to digital cable and the addition of the twin tuner DVR our TV is no longer the "controller" of activity. That function, except for DVD and VCR watching, has switched to the cable box/DVR.
Before I make some bad design errors could you answer this:
Edit: Things went a lot faster than I expected. Maybe the old brain isn't as stale as I thought! I got far enough to test the following scenario and the answer is yes.
I'm making a major assumption that the multi-purpose keys on Comcast's "Custom DVR 3 Device" remote (pretty sure now that it is made by URC) when in CABLE mode send the same IR code to the cable box whether I'm watching a live program, playing a recorded program, or watching an "On Demand" movie and the box decides what to do based on the "mode" that it's in. eg. Pausing live TV and pausing a recording use the same code. If that's true then I only need to store all those functions once and use them as required?
Thanks again.
Bob
Edit 2: I found AX Remote Editor version 1.1 to be pretty straight forward. The Help is a bit sparse and cryptic but once I got started things went very well. Several features of my 2008 Sony TV were not supported or the codes were incorrect (eg. Picture mode) but they were very easily learned. The very complex Comcast remote required a lot of learning but it all worked out in the end.
I was extremely impressed by the accuracy of the learning process. Of the 20 or so learned commands not one failed to learn the first time and all worked from the AX4000 exactly as they should.
Not entirely satisfied with Xpress yet but I've only tried one.

i keep my projects on a network share. I've found no limitations to using the files including via unc path or mapped drive. Also, the files can be copied around at will.
