Using Elements Over Network

[jlg759]

I have a external hard drive for my photos. I catalog my photos using elelments and was wondering how I can be sure that my laptop and desktop have the same catalog information for photos i have tagged etc. A better way to explain can I have the master catalog file on my desktop and still access it using my laptop? Or is there a file I can place on both machines which will ensure the files will match.

Hi

Welcome to the forums...

Ican I have the master catalog file on my desktop and still access it using my laptop?Yes, providing the Catalog folder is shared and your laptop can see it.

is there a file I can place on both machines which will ensure the files will match.No... use the method above

I have a external hard drive for my photos.If you can make the external hard drive a network drive then you could move the Catalog there...
