NOT Replicating forms in Access 2000

Yes....don't include them in the replica. You should split your database.
Your tables in one database and everything else in another. The database
with the tables is all you should replicate.

I have a Replica Master Access 2000 database that has some forms that I do
NOT wish to replicate. In Access 97, I could turn off the ability to
replicate selected forms, using the properties window for that form. Is there
any way I can turn off the replication of selected forms in Access 2000?

Thanks for the very quick reply! However, that particular solution probably
will not work for this situation. I need one person (the project manager) to
have access to more of the forms than the the other users would have. Is
there a way that this can be done? In the old Access 97, I could just turn
off replicatin for the forms that I did not want the regular users to have. I
cannot find that feature in Access 2000.

The solution works just as well as what you did before....better in fact,
because you wouldn't be replicating a monolithic database. You're really
not supposed to replicate anything other than tables....you're likely to
have problems if you do. It sounds to me as though you need to either
distribute 2 versions of the application...a full version for the project
manager and a lite version for other users. Or you need to implement user
level security and restrict use of some features based on the user login.
