database replication

rcollins
234 100+
I am using access 2003 on xp machines, databases stored on the main server. Wehave different locations, and accessing databases is pretty much no there from the other locations due to distance and slowness between servers. Until now, most of our database users have been at the main location, but now they want one user to be at a different building. Is database replication something that can be used here? if so, how does it work. If not, any suggestions? Let me know. As our company contiinuees to grow, this will become a larger issue. Thanks

For all Q's on replication Microsoft has a document you can download from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q282977/

Personally I've seen too much trouble with replication (too old replica's and dumps), so I never advise to use this.
My solution is to exchange the needed data by e.g. emailing an exported excel workbook and importing this from code.

Another option might be to give the "other building user" a Terminal Simulator connection with your server, thus enabling him/her to work on the same database.
