Database Replication and Linked Tables

I have a database that I need to create a replicated copy of. The
database app. is 2 mdb files one of which contains the forms, reports,
queries etc the other contains only the tables.

Do I create replicated copies of the form mdb, the table.mdb or both
separately, or is there some trick to replication with linked tables?

Any help would be appreciated
Michael.

Replication is for the data tables only. It is not reliable to try and
replicate the front-end.

When I try to create a replica of the data mdb I get the following message:

Microsoft Access can't convert the database to a Design Master.
Cannot make the [table] object in tables container replicable.

Any ideas?
