Design Changes cannot be applied to replicas

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a bunch of replicas and a design master. I added a new item on the
switchboard in the design master and now my replicas can't synchronize due to
design changes that cannot be applied. When I add items to switchboards in
other databases the replicas can still synchronize just fine. Is there a way
to fix this problem in Access 2003 without having to recreate the replica?
Any help would be great.

Thank You,

Replication is meant for data only (tables), not any other objects. Yes you
may have it working in other cases, but inevitably they will become a
problem. You should split the database, give each user a copy of the
frontend. Replicate only the backend. When you have changes to the
frontend, you just copy it out to the users, or use Tony Toews'
AutoFEUpdater. You'll find it on his site http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/
