Replication concept

Hi,
I got a new application with Access front end and sql server back-end. This
application has replication features where users can directly upload their
changes on the main server. I have no knowledge about replication. However, I
need to maintain this sytem. Is there any article or book that will help me
achieve this? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure that this is being replicated? If users are sending their access
changes to sql server, it sounds like this might be the way that the Access
application is designed, and not SQL Server replication. If it is somehow SQL
Server Replication, then there are 2 books out there (see
www.replicationanswers.com for links on homepage) and books on line (BOL).
Cheers,
Paul Ibison

|||Hope the books help, but I'd check first of all verify that you do have
replication occurring. It's possible that heterogenous subscribers have been
configured so your Access database is a subscriber to a SQL Server publisher,
and the uploading of changes in Access is a triggering of the synchronization
process (starting the ActiveX control to merge a pull subscription). Having a
look at the SQL Server box should show if this is the case and if so, looking
for heterogenous subscribers in BOL should help.

access project to write to SQL Server.
