I have used SynchToy to synch a database from a vista laptop to an XP pc, it
produces an error message that access is denied and will not update new data
between the two. have also tried network sharing and emaling etc. and am now
stuck. Any ideas please?

What is SynchToy?

SynchToy is a free download from microsoft that synchronizes files and folders

Ahh ... I see the download page now. This would merely move files/folders between machines, it wouldn't actually
synchronize two Access databases and update data in either one ... so (I'd presume) SyncToy would merely overwrite one
file with another. Of course, I could be wrong as I've never used it.

Generally, if you want to synchronize two Access database you either (a) use the builtin Access/Jet replication or (b)
build your own sync routines. Of the two, (a) is the easier choice but leaves you with fewer options; (b) would only lbe
recommended for advanced developers.

Since you're apparently not using Replication, I don't see these as
Access problem at all. I'd look for some Windows newsgroups --
perhaps search Google Groups to see where SynchToy has been used and
post there.
 
Please could you let me know how to replicate, or suggest where to look to
find out about it? Thanks
 
i have tried replicating files and still the data won't synchronize between
the vista laptp and the xp pc or the other way round. Help?

Be explicit about what steps you took to "replicate files" and then
what you did to attempt to synchronize them. Otherwise, there's not
nearly enough information to even speculate on possible causes of
problems.
