PROB: Need to change Replica file to Master File

[Guest]

I used breifcase to back up my Access homework from my jump drive to my
notebook. During one of my daily backups, BOTH copies were made into replica
files. Now there is no way to modify the tables in my database. Is there
anyway to change the replica file into a master file or any other way around
this problem?

Anyway Tools, Replication, Recover Design Master will turn it into a master.

You really shouldn't use the briefcase to replicate an Access database - I
understand it isn't reliable.

If you want to return it to a normal database, go into help and search for
'replica to regular'. That help topic will assist in getting it back to a
normal database.

If you have further questions about replication, you should ask in the
replication newsgroup.
