DB file transfer

I work from home and my office as well. At times I may be doing work on an application from home and would like to update my application at the office the next day. The applications are identical at all times. If I have added or changed records at home is it possible to only copy the .db file and paste it in the office application which will ask if it's all right to overwrite? Or, do I need to copy and paste all ---- .db file, ddt file, dsr file, and the dat file?

The .db and the .dat file go together and must stay together. If you have changed design, the .dsr and .ddt files go together and must stay together.

NEVER copy just a .db file without its .dat.

NEVER copy just a .dsr file without its .ddt.

For the mathematically minded:
((.db & .dat) | (.dsr & .ddt))
