Delete the access files and wipe their remains from the registry.
SQL Server and replication would lend itself really really well to this
scenario and the Publisher/Subscriber model is made JUST for this.
You can do it with Access, but it'll take some fancy footwork that I don't
think is worht it. Remember that DataSets are local 'databases' themselves
so you could just use Access on the server, load yoru datasets from it, and
periodically send the updates back and refresh them. On a scale of 1 to 10
it's probably a 3. but Access will corrupt, will have security problems and
will be doing a job it wasn't really intended to do.
I'll gladly walk you through either process, just let me know.
Cheers,
Bill
