[TRLog] Two-Computer Log Editing

[Don Moman]

Use different computer ids for each station. Step one and very important. 
Step 2 - only assume log data entered on computer A is valid, and the same
for B, C etc.  In post take the log from Computer A and pull out just the
A logs. Do the same for all computers.  Then in POST, merge these logs to
get a complete, accurate log.  THEN I usually take all the notes from the
various sites and make the corrections, although this could be done at any
time really.  It sounds a bit complex but it really isn't bad and once you
get the routine down, it's downright simple. 

Your method would work if NOBODY made ANY edits, and the network never
dropped anything (which usually is true) but  it's much easier to make
those last 5 edits whenever you have the time, and put the rest on paper
notes for afterwards.
