Simon,

Your server not only contains products - it also has your projects (drawing files), users, permissions etc. So you need to see which is more current as far as all these settings go.

From my understanding one of your servers is more current as far as products goes.

What you can do -
1. Connect to the server which is most current (in Navigator) for products (laptop server). Start MMPD do a "Copy Down to Local". This will copy latest product data to your local database.

2. Close MMPD and Navigator

3. Restart Navigator and connect to your current server (intranet server - one with not upto date product data). Start MMPD and do a "Copy Up To Server" - this will copy the latest product data from local to intranet server. In other machines now do a "Copy Down to Local" after connecting to the intranet server.
