synchronize button?

ray436 · Oct 31, 2000

hello Access masters!

Is it possible/wise to place a button on my main form to synchronize the database?

We have a large number of mobile users who manage to mess up this operation (?) and I would like to write a script or macro that would do the job without letting them mess it up.

Thanks to all .......

Have You tried use replication manager?
It works fine and let users sinchronize easely.

what i was thinking ( should have explained better) was a way to remove the chance for the person to misdirect the synchronization, or designate a new design master, etc,
but I will check into the Rep Manager, - its on the Developer CD right?

thanks

There is a good site that explains all about replication

try this link:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/Access/Content/repl/replication.asp

There you can find examples to do it by code,if any questions arise ..just let me know.

thanks, got some reading to do.

I will have to work out something, but i will be planning it for the long term, so research is required i guess.

thanks all.
