Replication on two laptops

Hi

I have create replication between a laptop and the server. Now I need to
create replication for another laptop. Do I create another replica for the
second laptop or copy the one from the first laptop?

Thanks

Regards

Why did you post this independently in CDMA and in
microsoft.publi c.access.replic ation? I answered in the latter group,
but if you'd crossposted, my answer would have appeared in both
groups, for a wider audience.

Here's what I said:

Except for empty replicas (at the beginning of the life of a replica
set, before data has been entered), you NEVER copy replicas. Ever.

Open up the server replica on the 2nd laptop and create the replica
from there.

Hi, I have an Access 97 Database on the server, which gets updated from Desktops thru a LAN. Employees who have to go to offsite locations, carry the latest copy of the MDB. At the end-of-the day when they return to the office or they send the copy of the MDB, the Laptop version (with their current entries) has to be synchronized with the MDB sitting on the server. How do I go about setting up this? I would appreciate suggestions...

I need to synchronize 3 databases (1 Master and 2 replicas). I thought I'd give the Replica feature in Access2000 a whirl. I'm not sure I'm THAT impressed.....but maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I'll outline the issues below and then maybe someone who has experience with replicating this way can tell me if this is the route I should take, or if I should just use my own routine which compares strings for each field. 1) I've...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
