Replication manager is an administrative tool, not an end user tool. The users of your app will be able to synchronize without any kind of replication manager because replicas have the capability of synchronizing built in.

I have Office XP Developer. I am looking at the use of replication to keep several users synchronized on a really slow network plus be able to synchronize lap tops when they dial in. I got interested in this method after reading Arthur Fuller's article in "Inside Microsoft Access", March edition. I also read the chapter in the ADH on replication to get additional information. What I have been trying to determine is can I distribute the Replication Manager tool that comes with the Developer Edition with my database. It seems like this is the easiest way to set up the replication and synchronization schedule on the users system. I found an article on the web for access 97 that seems to indicate that Replication Manager is distributable but nothing on XP and have found nothing in any of my XP literature of help files. Has anyone had experience with this tool and been able to distribute it or does the user need to have the MOD on their machine? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
