Tip: Looking for answers? Try searching our database.

Is Replication the best solution for this problem?

I work for a large company.  We have several program
managers that have offices off site.  The only way they
can access the company intranet is by dial up.  Every time
they have tried to access the database they crash it.  My
director wants to place a copy of the database on a cd,
take it to the program managers to copy to their laptops,
update the data, then bring the disk back to me to update
the original tables.  I've never replicated a database
before and every time I tried this, it always referenced
the original data on our intranet and it won't show any
data.  Is replication the best solution to this
situation?  If it is, what am I missing that it keeps
trying to use the data on the intranet?  I have a front
end and a back end.  Thanks for any help.  Thursday is my
deadline.

Yes, Indirect replication was made for this.

Thursday is too short to set this up properly, especially
when you're learning the ropes, but you can learn enough
to know if you have the necessaries to get started by
reading past news group posts in this group.

One thing to work out first would be what you mean by
Intranet. You mention that they are able to connect to the
database file direct to be able to crash it. This really
means VPN connection, not intranet, as VPN
allows "Indirect Replication", whereas Intranet
means "Internet Replication" and these have different
potential problems. Indirect replication is easier to work
with IMO.
