Replication

[Piotr]

Is there any way to make replication between one computer with MS
Access and access file placed on the laptop but without access.
The problem is that I wish to have replication on demand from laptop
where are reports in Excell generated on the base of access files.
The problem is that I dont have access on laptop, is this possible ???

regards
PK

You can use Excel to connect to and read Access tables, but the connection
must be live, not replicated. If the data is one way only, it is very easy.
If not, I suggest that you use Excel to connect to the most current Access
data on the laptop, then periodically link the Excel worksheet back by
saving it when the network connection is resumed. Use a query to
update/append data back to the Access tables.

Adding a copy of Access (about US$100 for the upgrade) to the laptop is the
best alternative. Then you can use Access replication.
