TOPIC: Syncing reports between computers

Is there any way to sync my tablet to my pc so any I can finish reports on the PC or save any template changes to both?

Yes
I do it all the time.
I will give you the two most common methods.

1) Buy a zip drive and put the file on it for easy transfer
2) Email the file to yourself if you have online access

If you need help with finding the file let me know.
If your question is does HIP have an online auto sync feature the answer is no, but you could even do that as a work around by using an online storage .

Remember HIP is not an online software,but with the above it does not matter.

I just changed from from an online software for various reasons.

When you say the "file", what does that include?

Hi Joe
Reliability,control,and price are my reasons.
I started with horizon and tinkered for many hours with Report Host in the past.

That aside your files are stored like any other software in your computer and these are usually automatically stored in your  Program files.

Found under Computer then program files or  program files x86  if you have Vista.

Go to the Home Inspector Pro files and find folders for Data,Client data and Client reports.

Once you have the program installed on both computer and Tablet you can pluck your files from the above folders.

Notice Data stores your templates by name
Notice Client reports has your reports stored in PDF format or are the finished reports you completed
notice Client data is stored in this strange HZF format , but who cares as you can copy any of them for transfer.

Go ahead and give it a try right now Joe.

Just send yourself an email with one of those files.Go to attachments and browse till you find the one to send.

Try something like a PDF file and see if it opens on the other computer once sent.

I will be on most of the night.

Hey Bob, I'm moving from Horizon.  Loved the reporting part, hated the syncing and photo editing so I'm HIP now!

So I'll have to email them back and forth? 

If I make changes to my template, I'll have to keep track, change the file name, and keep saving them back and forth?  No way to "sync"?

I find having a tiny zip drive faster
But you do not need to change the file name unless you want the original too

Not sure sync is that important if you are going home to finish the report you started on the tablet.

Only adds a minute to up and download.

Horizon is ok but pricy and I feel more in control now.
On android but heading home if I missed what you meant
