Are you talking about database schema or data itself?It sounds like these Access database are stand alone, instead of linked to SQL Server. For linked Access database, the data should be in synch live.Is there only one instance of the Access in question here? |

In SQL Server 2000 it is possible to replicate data from SQL to Access using merge replication. There is a small amount of info here: [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/replsql/replhet_93ar.asp[/url]. Basically you create a publication on the SQL side and a heterogeneous subscription for Access in which you specify a driver or provider to use when connecting to Access. This functionality is discontinued in SQL Server 2005.Michael Blythe Technical WriterSQL Server Replication - Microsoft --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |
