I setup dvd profiler as a server on one computer and i set it up as a client on another. The client computer has the buttons for adding / editing / etc all greyed out even though I have a change permission. I am able to add on my ipad. Any idea why the windows client is read only while the ipad version is not?

With the implemented sharing mode the client can only change the personal data.
All other changes are not possible.

For having full access on the "Client" you'd have to:

1) Allow Remote Access to the database folder (Host)
2) Point the client-installation of DVDProfiler to the "New" database (Menu: File -> Open Database... -> Browse)

This variant allows full access on each remote computer, but sadly only for 1 computer at a time.
Parallel multi-user access isn't possible yet.

For this variant it has shown to be useful to move the database to a network drive (NAS).
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
