I don't think you need a 'server' as such - just a computer with NT 4.0 or higher (Windows XP pro may even work). All the laptops need to do is to set up a dialup link so that they can access a folder on the main computer. Then replication does the rest. Check out the replication documentation for indirect synchronization. >I don't suppose there's a chance that the Access database could be moved >to a web server on a web host and have replication performed in some fashion? Avoid internet synchronization - unless post 97 versions have improved (which I don't think they have), you are left with no security to prevent hackers attacking your server (internet synchronization doesn't work with firewalls etc).
