[AccessD] Replication Manager or Briefcase

Check out Michael Kaplans site:
http://www.trigeminal.com <http://www.trigeminal.com> 
 
He's the guru of Access Replication, and among other things, has made his
own 'replication manager' much more powerful than the one from MS.  The are
a number of excellent articles on replication on his site also.
 
Additionally, you shouldn't need to install a replication manager on each
machine.
 
Cheers,
Andrew

Subject: [AccessD] Replication Manager or Briefcase



I'm trying to decide which is the best method to handle replication.

This will involve around 7 users. 

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.

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.

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.

This is not mission critical information so the briefcase looks like a
better solution with much less programming overhead.

Anyone have any insights on this?

John
