MS Access Forum / Replication / October 2006Replication Manager
Can anyone tell me if replication manager in the 97 developer tools can manage replication for Access 2003 databases? > Can anyone tell me if replication manager in the 97 developer > tools can manage replication for Access 2003 databases? No, it cannot. Replication is not cross-version compatible. A2K+ cannot edit A97 replicated databases, for instance. And no version of Jet is forward-compatible. ReplMan from the A97 developer tools is Jet 3.5, and A2K, A2K2 and A2K3 are Jet 4. If you need ReplMan, you need to acquire the Jet 4 version.  SignatureDavid W.

I keep hearing about the Replication Manager Tool. Is this a built in feature for Access 2003? Or do I need to find a 2003 compatible vversion somewhere? >> > Can anyone tell me if replication manager in the 97 developer >> > tools can manage replication for Access 2003 databases?

I would recommend that if you are interested in Replication, you peruse the Replication White Papers and the Replication FAQ. They are all listed on this page: http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/Replication/index.php/Resources_for_learni ng_about_Jet_Replication The sad fact is that Microsoft so poorly understands its products that the Office 2003 development kit (i.e., Visual Studio) omits Replication Manager. You have to get the Office 2000 or Office XP developer edition to get Replication Manager. As the message you quote above says (but which you've apparently not actually read), the ReplMan version is Jet version-specific, and since A2K, A2K2 and A2K3 are all Jet 4, one version of ReplMan works with all those versions of Access.

Actually the quote says nothing about ReplMan not working with A2K3. It says replication manager in 97 developer doesn't manage replication for Access 2003 databases. For someone who is learning, that statement could very easily mean that there is a ReplMan that is NOT in 97 (perhaps a new version after 97) that DOES work for A2K3. > >> and A2K, A2K2 and A2K3 are Jet 4.

This also could very easily mean that there is a ReplMan for Jet 4. > As the message you quote above says (but which you've apparently not > actually read), the ReplMan version is Jet version-specific, and > since A2K, A2K2 and A2K3 are all Jet 4, one version of ReplMan works > with all those versions of Access. So apparently I did read them. Sorry that everything isn't as intuitive for people who are still in college. And this quote to me would imply that >>since A2K, A2K2 and A2K3 are all Jet 4, one version of ReplMan works > with all those versions of Access.<<< There is a ReplMan that works with all of those versions in Access. We're here to get help. If you want to help, help but don't slip snide remarks in because people aren't as knowledgable. > We're here to get help.

And if you'd bothered to read the Microsoft documentation, and not just what I'd posted, then you wouldn't have had this question. Or, you could have asked for a clarification of what had been posted. But, again, get a thicker skin. Grow up. In the real world, nobody's going to forgive you your shortcomings -- that's up to you to correct. SignatureDavid W.
