I have a Master copy of my DB. It will not allow me to change my forms. How
can I change my forms then update a Replica?
Thanks

I would VERY STRONGLY recommend that you *never* replicate any
database containing forms, reports, or other user interface objects!
MichKa, the reigning replication expert (www.trigeminal.com) urges
this, and I fully agree.

Split your database using the database splitter wizard; replicate the
backend (the tables database) ONLY; keep a .mdb file of the frontend
for development, and make .mde files of the frontend whenever you
change a form or report, and just distribute the frontends to all
users (just as files, not using the Replication mechanism).
