Master and Replica

19 New Member
Okay -

so, I made some design changes in my Master Document and when I tried to synch them with the replica it told me that I couldn't (because I made design changes).

I can't change the design of the replica, because it's not the master (in order to make them synch up).

I can't just create a new replica because (even though I told them not to!) other users in my office have used the replica instead of the master to update information.


HELP!!

Paula,
Unless you can use a third party tool like the TSI Unreplicator (http://www.trigeminal.com/lang/1033/...asp?ItemID=7#7 ) to convert a replica into a useable database file, you probably will have to delete your existing replicas and create a new replica from your design master.

If you follow Microsoft's instructions (see link below), you are supposed to synch the master with all replicas before making any design changes in the master. In the event that you did not do that, and you can't get the master to synch with the replicas (following Microsofts instructions in the article ), you will have to delete all unsynched replicas and create new ones.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q165271/

Quote from Microsoft: "Whenever you change the schema at the Design Master, problems may occur when you synchronize with other replicas. Those problems may range from simple synchronization errors to more complex design errors. It is possible to create a situation where you can no longer synchronize with another replica, and you must delete and re-create it."

Using A2K. Last year, a design master for a customer was developed and placed it in their folder on the network which I do not have rights to. I found a replica on my PC that I would like to convert to a design master so that I can make changes to the tables per the customer's request. If I choose Tools..Replication..Recover Design Master, it recognizes that the design master is in the customer's folder. Access Help says I should sync...

Hello newsgroup, thanks to David's help I will try to rebuild my replicas with "smaller" dimensions in order to avoid the massages concerning numbers of tables the tombstone-table. Does anybody know, how to do delete old replicas in the replica-manager, which do not appear in the Raplica-manager-window but only in the syncronizer-log?

Hi, In my partial replica only the contents of a few tables is being updated / synchronized when I synchronize it with another replica. Is it possible to find out which tables are synchronized? I took a look at the properties of the table, but to no avail. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am a Mainframe guy. I am working with MS access(maintaining a application) for the last 2 weeks. I had one master database and four replicas. One of my replica had trouble in synchronization(It said, database is in use..). After searching google, I ran "Compact and repair" utlity against my replica. It looks like, it has changed the attribute of my replica.

Ok, I know I am not suppose to be able to modify the design of a replica but when I try to edit the replica in Table Link Manager to set up connections for user's data file before they synchronize. I'm not trying to change the design just modify which data file the tables are linked to. Any tips or am I being too vague?

I'm just starting to play with replication. It looks like it might work fairly well for what I need. I'm not in a good position to test what happens if two or more users try to sync their replicas at the same time with the hub replica located on the server. Can someone who has experience with this provide me with some guidance. The reason I ask is that I was thinking about having my app sync the local replica with the server hub...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
