| I am considering using GenPro for a family project to chart our ancestors. However I have been unable to find a clear definitive answer to a question within the various forum pages; I have a small network at home and a laptop that I can connect remotely to this network via a VPN. I would like to give the laptop to my father, with a copy of GenPro on it and with the benefit of a 2 user license work with him to document our family tree. Therefore, it is possible for two users, running GenPro on two separate PCs, to access the same data files at the same time? If it is, what happens if we were both to be editing the same info at the same time? Which one of us would have their data saved? If I am being too simplistic, please could you tell me how I might use a multi-user license purchase to allow more than one user to collaborate on this project at the same time, on a local network (or may be even via Terminal Services) ? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The only way to test this is to try it. My laptop will open a file created on the PC but can also save back to the same place and will overwrite the file there. This means that at present you can not have two people working on the same file. You could save to a different file name but again there is no merge facility. It would be possible to manipulate the xml file to achieve this, but I can not remember any reports of this.
GenoPro Gamma is intended to be a true collaborative version but there are no details about how sharing will work, or when a trial version will be made available.
