Re: RDi Opening or comparing members from remote system

I guess the very "old school" (non-RDi) approach of CMPPFM, using DDM to 
access the file on the second machine has no mileage?

(Just a thought.)

It’s not a problem to do that from RDi as long as you have a connection to both machines - as you have written in detail, and this also works with two members on two different machines/connections. But it would be so much easier, if my application could trigger this.
