<P>I'm trying to decide which is the best method to handle replication.</P>
<P>This will involve around 7 users. </P>
<P>I have 2 office locations: 1 in Philadelphia and 1 in Cleveland. The are
connected with an Asynchronous line. Therefore the data connection will be
slow. They will eventually switch to a regular T1 line, but not for a few
months.</P>
<P>I have looked at the Replication Manager which looks like a good fit but
I would have to install it on all the PC's and (I believe) have the
synchronizer running on the server where everyone would replicate to. I
would then do indirect synchronization.</P>
<P>Someone said they used the Briefcase to do the synchronizations. With
that method, I would not have to install Replication Manager on all the
PC's.</P>
<P>This is not mission critical information so the briefcase looks like a
better solution with much less programming overhead.</P>
<P>Anyone have any insights on this?</P>
