I have an Access database which is on the main office server and updated by
my office staff. I have recently dragged a copy of this file into the
"Briefcase" on my Laptop so that I can have a "more or Less" up to date
version with me when I am out of the office. When I did this I got a message
saying that it would need to create a "Replica".
I do not try to merge the databases, I merely tell it to replace the
"Briefcase" version with the updated version on the main server. I make no
changes to the Briefcase version, merely use it for reference.
I have noticed 2 problems:-
1) If a new Query is created in the server version it does not copy over to
the Briefcase version when I choose the replace option. All the forms in the
databases have green replice logos next to them apart from the newly created
queries.
2) My "Auto number" field, which is also my primary key, does not create a
consecutive number anymore. It now creates some sort of code which appears
87E+08 or 08E+09 or 1181206925.
Can you help please? Have I wrecked my database by copying into the
Briefcase feature?
Thank-you,
