I didn't name them differently, the sync process did. I started out with
avon.av4db and upon updating and then syncing it from the desktop, the name
was changed to avon on desktop.av4db. And if I make the change on the
laptop, a file called avon on laptop.av4db is created. I want the filename
to remain the same on both computers but that's not what the syncing is doing
and thus my problem and confusion.
