Thanks Rudy.
Once I successfully upload revised data from the ipad, I then might try to edit additional data and upload, however, I'll get the message that " the base is disconnected." The link will now be red.
If I try to just re-establish the connection by clicking on the link button, it will rapidly flash from red to green and back but never go back to full green.
I too was thinking that the ipad is trying to reconnect to the home network. Is there a way to tell it not to without completely deleting it from the wifi choices in the ipad settings?
