sharing offcuts between machines?
we just got our second machine and I was wondering if there is anyway to share the offcuts (or offalls) from one machine to another? In otherwords, can an offcut from one machine be scanned and loaded into the second machine?

so that would mean that I would have to backup the original .mdb file on the machine that i am copying to, or else i would lose the offcuts that were made on that machine. in other words, it replaces, it doesn't merge.
Any chance we could get the ability for machines to share a .mdb file across a network added to the wishlist?

On the subject off falls...is there a way to quickly find the correct off fall in the off fall list. Each time I go to use an off fall we have to scan down a list of thousands of numbers to find the correct one. I know it has a bar code, so I assume if a scanner had been purchased you would simply have to scan the label. Can we simply enter the number on the keypad somewhere to get to the correct off fall?

Hey Ryan...
Thanks for the response...I've wondered for a while if I was the only one scrolling, scrolling, scrolling....
What doesn't make sense to me though is, a bar code scanner simply enters the numbers via the scan once you get to the \"search\" field. Same as swiping a credit card for example - if it doesn't swipe the employee can still enter the number in the field manually. Why doesn't that work on the off fall - I don't understand how the scanner works without a \"search\" field and/or why we can't simply enter the associated number into that field manually (?)

Thanks Ryan...that would be great!
Another item that would be incredibly helpful if possible, would be a way to tag the numbers (off falls) you want to keep and then delete all the rest. We usually only have a dozen or so pieces that are worth hanging onto at any given time, but trying to sort through to delete the list of off falls we don't need is kind of daunting...
appreciate your help!
