Standalone -v- Replication

I am developing an application for use by a Company's sales force.The App. will run on Laptops, with a Master copy of the DB on the HQ PC.There will be number of laptop users.Basically what I want to do is - keep all of the information on all of the Laptops + HQ in sync.Is this Replication - if so where can I find out more about it (How exactly it works etc).If not then I will need to dump and field changes on each laptop and send it to HQ for updating or is there something I can do my establishing an online line...

Replication is one way of handling it

There's a lot you can do here but it really depends. To use Replication it
takes a bit of work up front but is pretty easy after you set up your
publishers and subscribers. Books Online has a lot of info too. I don't
know if you want to expose your DB to the internet, but you could create a
Web Service that takes the local datasets, updates the DB and then refreshes
the query..this would be one other possiblity if you don't want the users
having to get connected to your network. There's a lot of possibilites but
replication is definitely a good choice here.

HTH,

Bill

I need advice about my decision to go with Replication in general. This post was placed on the Microsoft Replication newsgroup, but I really value the feedback that comes from this group as well.

They have only 4-6 users of this data and a couple of them want to work disconnected, with their laptops and synchronize when they come into the office. The database will be...

Hi, I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the front-end stored on all computers and the back-end on one of them serving as an Access file server. Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office will be open at a time, so theoretically it'd be possible to copy the back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly, that's pretty annoying.

Hi, Our SQL Replication is between DB2 databases on Windows servers.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
