I have developed an access application running on a network and I have
enhanced security following the instructions on knowledge base article KB
132143 where the database is created with a different user from Admin and in
this way it cannot be copied to another PC and opened with access db.

Now because the application will be run from laptops I am considering using
replicator 4.0 from an Internet server and the laptops synchronised with that.
Can that work with the secured database and what .mdw file will I need to
use for every laptop, to guarantee the same level of security like before.
Is there an additional procedure for security together with the procedure of
indirect synchronisation through an internet server ?

Thank you in advance

What is "Replicator 4.0?"

In any event, indirect replication works just fine with security.
You just have to initiate exchanges in sessions that are logged into
the appropriate workgroup file and with the appropriate
username/password. There's nothing different about security with
replication than there is in just using the secured application.
