thank you so much for the reply. dropbox is a great solution in terms of mirroring a folder between macs, and using shared folders in vmware will help in getting the files from vmware to my mac.
one problem (potentially) is that the windows program expects data files to be stored in a particular location that i cannot control. as a result, i think i need to either:
1) find a way to share that directory with my mac (and then share that with dropbox)
--or--
2) create a macro that will, in one action, copy files from the program's data directory to the folder that is shared between windows & my mac.
do you know of any way to accomplish #1? let's say my data is in c:\program\data\.
in my VMware shared folders i can clearly see my mac's desktop and other shared folders (let's call it z:\shared\desktop\data\). i'm wondering if there is a way to connect the 2.
if this were just on my mac, i could make a symbolic link such that the pogram would think it is saving files to c:\program\data but in reality would be saving to z:\shared\desktop\data\.
thank you!
