Does anyone know if it is possible to take away design master status from a
database, without moving or changing the name permanently?  I have tried
renaming and then renaming back again, and the design master status comes
back.

Is it possible to display the last successful sync date/time in a form in
the front end of a split database, where the Access 2000 backend is the
database being synchronized with Replication Manager?
Can you parse the synchronizer log somehow? Or is this info stored in the

When I drag and drop a database file (.mdb) into the Windows XP Briefcase, it

Been using replication over 3 years for a Work Order database.  I use the

David and Cheval,
Sorry not to reply within the original thread but my OE is playing up and
will only send a 'new' message. Hate to brake protocol and will probably
have to reinstall windows.

In my ExchangeLog, one of my replicas has the following message:
