Is there a way to test if a replica has lost its replication. The loss
of the replication doesn't mean that the ReplicaID disappears does it?

No. But what changes is the Replicable property:

?CurrentDB.Properties("Replicable")

in the Debug/Immediate window will tell you the value, which is "T"
for replicated databases. The property doesn't exist for databases
that have never been replicated. I don't recall what the value is
for an MDB that's lost replicability, but it's not "T" -- I've
written code to test for it after a compact.
