[AccessD] Access XP Developer and replication manager

David,

 

Thank you.



Now I use dial up connections and indirect synchronization.  I
distribute replication manager as part of the installation and once it
is configured on the users machines they are (mostly) able to follow the
simple synchronization process using it.

 

That is the answer I was searching for; you can distribute the
replication manager as part of the runtime.  

 

How do you do the indirect synchronization over a modem?  That is
another task I need to do.

I am not sure about XP but would be pretty certain that it would be
distributable as well.

No, I haven't.  When I've used replication, I didn't try to do it on a
schedule because I had no control over the users' schedules.
Procedurally, our users were instructed to sync their replica at the
beginning of each session to get the latest updates and at the end of a
session to upload their own changes.  You could set up code to sync the
database when they opened it, but there is at least a slight delay
involved with that.

Charlotte,

 

Thank you.  I guess my ignorance is going to show here but that is how I
learn, sometimes.  My objective, I think, is to have the replication
manager on the users system so I can set up the replicas on the various
computers and set up the synchronization schedule.  From what I
understand if I use the Access menu I can make the replicas and put them
on the various computers but I can not get automatic synchronization, or
indirect synchronization.  It seems like a real waste to put the full
developer edition on a computer just to get the replication manager
tool, but this is a MS product.
