I have created a database in Access. Now I need to create a copy of the database in another computer. I can simply copy the whole database but that will take too long. I have also considered using Access Replication but I think that it is not possible if the database is password protected.
Now I want to simulate replication manually. I have a date/time field in my table which when updated will record the time of update. So I can put a timestamp on my update time of the replicas, then create a query where the date/time field is > the update time to return records that are updated and added.
Btw, only the 'master'/original database will be modified. the 'replicas'/copies are just for reports.
What is the best way to do this?
