Remote Sync -- SQL 2000

I am just beginning development of a new app and I need a little advice on
the best way to go about doing something.

The app is a project management tool for a construction company. Users in
the field will need to do remote updates both receiving and submitting data
back to the main office. I can't just make it a live web app because the
users will have to be able to work off line and sync data later (presumably
with a VPN connection).

What is the best way to go about this? I planned on using MSDE 2000 w/Access
front end. I will install MSDE on each laptop but what is the safest/most
reliable way to sync only that information which pertains to a specific user
along with other general information.

Any books that helpful with this specific issue? Any one have reusable
modules/code they'd be willing to send me?

TIA,

CXonsider replication, transactional or merge. Transactional is the
easier of the tow options but does mean that oly one side can make
changes to the data. With merge both sides cna change the data and you
create a set of rules to decide whic update is accepted.

Hi, I finally figured out the best way to synch local and remote script folders, containing many php script files. What I used to do before was try to ftp all the changed files, etc. which was tedious and often broke. It was also very slow. What I do now is to pkzip the folder up, ftp the pkzip’ed data to remote, and then unzip it there, which recreates the directories and files.

I need to sync a DB on a remote computer for disaster recovery purposes only. Because of its dimension I thought to use only daily (for ex.) Incremental Delta backups. How reliable is this solution? Do I need to perform a full backup/restore from time to time? Is there a similar way, I mean daily incremental delta syncs, but using TCP/IP? I can handle a RPO of 1 day or more. So, a mirror solution is too

Can anyone provide any pointers or code examples for Coding an app to use ActiveSync to sync between SQL CE and SQL 2000 / MSDE I want the app to use ActiveSync and to be a Windows form app on the PC and with a widest target platform (ie. XP home, so no IIS), therefore using IIS for Sync is not really an option (?) Thanks

I'm stumped. I'm working on an application in VB.Net that uses System.Messaging.MessageQueue to listen for messages sent to a private queue on a remote machine. Both machines are in the same Workgroup in a small private LAN. The messaging is working fine, but since the remote machine is used as a control system and has to be rebooted when there is a configuration change, I have to handle the remote queue going down and coming back up...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
