I discovered the hard way to not replicate and synch my database. I have
successfully recovered the unreplicated database and split it into a frontend
(FE)and backend(BE). I put a copy of the FE out on a shared drive and kept
the original FE and BE on my personal drive. Now, I create a new report in
my personal drive FE and just save it over the FE on the shared drive. Any
problems with this practice? I was told at one point to replicate my BE, why
would I need to do this?
Would it even make sense to synch and when would I do it?
Thanks and have a great holiday weekend!

If you need to have more than one data file and have them edited in
two places and then have the edits merged, then, yes, you'd need
replication.

If you don't have that need, then, no, you don't need replication.
