Synchronizing Access and SQL Server

JA
Hi,

Is it possible to make changes to an Access 2000 database on my desktop, and
have it update those changes to SQL Server 2000 on the web?

I have to update stock and prices every night. Right now I am using Access
2000, and I just make the changes, and then upload the changed db to the
server, and overwrite the old db.

But I am going to be using SQL Server 2000 soon, and I know you don't just
overwrite the db each time.

There are about 6 fields that *might* change each night, per record.

Is it called replication? How (basically) do I go about it? Are there
programs out there that will make it easier?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

Yes. You are right. It's called Replication. It can solve your problem.

If you haven't got SQL 2000 yet, you won't have access to BOL, which is
where you'll want to read about replication.

Here's the link to the online version:

I have an Access database that I use frequently. Often, I take it to a home PC, or laptop to work on at night. The next day, I overwrite the old one with the one I have been working on. The only problem is - during this time, others may want to add records at the office. This causes an obvious data loss problem if I overwrite their edition of the database. Is there a way to synchronize the database? If someone made additions at...

We are getting ready to move an ASP.NET application off of a single development machine and onto a "webfarm". Basically our webfarm is a bunch of identical servers with the load-balancing provided by a network appliance.

We have a number of tables in a CRM that is written in MS access that I need to be able to provide a web interface to. I can export the tables just fine using pgadmin II, but I cant' think of a clean way to import them from postgresql back to access. Synchronizing only needs to happen once a day at the most. I was also thinking of using the MS access forms with access tables that are just odbc links to the postgresql database. Does...

I'm fairly new to access, so I hope this question isn't too elementary. I'm putting together a database for my office. I want the database to be accessible to 5 or 6 users on our network and so itt may be used by more than one person at the same time. I am hoping that someone can give me an idea of some of my options in facilitating this. My instinct, from fishing around in the database options, is that it might have something to do...

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.

Does anyone have any suggestions for synchronizing multiple websites? We have a dev server, a testing server, and a live server. Now, we have 3 developers, and we are having trouble tracking which files on which server are the latest. I know it should be obvious, but this is a bit complicated, as many of you may have experienced. Any suggestions for software and/or methods/techniques for file management?

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,...
