| | Posted: | | | | I haven't used the program actively in many years and am just now starting back up. My question is, is it possible to have more than one database within an installation? I would like to track my collection as well as my wife's. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…

| | Posted: | | | | Yes I believe you can as I do.. but for two seperate data bases it should be installed either on separate drive or separate login .. as long as the documents folder is not being shared .
I have windows installed on two Harddrives , ( XP pro on one and windows 10 on another) both can be fired up and running after a cold reboot into the windows of your choice., My windows 10 is running version 4 ( beta)_ and the windows xp is running 3.9 with contributions ..
an area of concern would be the backup to the cloud .. it will under your sign in name ( membership) over write your collection.. so if you do backup this way pick the one data base you never want to loose or over write with another .
I also have the 3.9 profiler installed on my windows HP laptop, as well as the wife's iPad and of course on my iphone 5e.
Never far from my data .... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Or to make it even easier, just create a new Collection Category within your database and put all your wife's discs in that collection.

It's much simpler than that. File -> Open Database -> New Database as usual, I'm always doing work the hard way ...  still needs the answer : what about backups to the invleos cloud ..? which library takes precedence ? .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

It's much simpler than that. File -> Open Database -> New Database I don't need the online function, so this may work as well. Thanks! | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

I'm not familiar with this feature. How do I go about doing this? From the Collection Menu, select Other and Edit Collection Categories...  Then Add a collection, name it, and set the options you want.  And now you have a new collection for your wife's discs.  --------------- |

what about backups to the invleos cloud ..? which library takes precedence ? .. If you have multiple databases, the one that you have open at the time will be uploaded. If you have uploaded another database earlier, it will be overwritten. Using custom categories works fine as long as you don't need to have the same profile in two categories. Custom categories will be part of the upload, but won't show online. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

While the custom category itself won't show online, its contents will show online if you tick the "include contents in owned collection" box. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Nexus the Sixth |
